That isn't the first time we've heard this, Tagg said that about running Funny Cide though he was going too, Baffert mentioned it when talking about Point Given. It has been mentioned quite a few times that they don't like the spacing between those two races.

but how many go for the big payday in the haskell, and then have a ready-made excuse NOT to go to the travers? hell, worked out for AGS's connections, with a huge stud deal to go with the gr 1 win...that way, hefty check, and don't diss the 'fourth classic' which is having a harder time staying just that.
