My logic is Summer Bird was taken out of his game in the Haskell, not to Kent's fault, he knew if he sat back and made one run it would have been for running for no better than 2nd. So he took a shot, the Travers is going to be far more favorable to him with the extra distance and the possible pace dynamics. RA is obviously a great horse, we will see or hopefully Kensai won't work well tommorow so she will be entered...how she will handle this field and track. The competition and tracks of Belmont, CD, and Monmouth presented no difficulties for her, if she goes next Saturday I think it's fair to say this will be her biggest challenge. All I know is Summer Bird is training well, and he had a good prep in the no chance Haskell, he's still improving, it will be interesting if he can close the gap on RA with a more favorable track and set up. Oddswise this is the time to try, if she wins you just tip your cap, go back to the dugout and admire a special horse.
