Obviously I completely disagree. The Travers is going to be a big field, MN is not a big filly and she's lightly raced. Those are 3 excellent reasons to forgo the Travers. I don't care if she beats the boys anyway. I want her to run the whole year and become a champion. I have no desire to see a Travers run,. where she would not likely win, take the starch out of her.
Little Belle has been trashed on this board, now she's a top contender for the Alabama? I like her and she always tries, but she's just not nearly as good as Music Note or Proud Spell.
