Default Travers Field--Anyone feel......

Anyone feel like we may lose a couple of horses before post time. We have a 6 horse field now that Kip is out. I wouldnt be surprised at all to see another one go. I wouldnt be totally shocked to see even two horse scratch leaving a field of 4. Man that would be awful.

It is certainly possible if some of these entered but were only planning on running if one of the two big boys scratched. I basically give the 1 and the 3 no shot to win and I think they are big longshots to even hit the board. They are clearly not even in the same class as High Cotton and Minister's Bid....let alone the top 2, so scratching is possible.

I think Dr Pleasure may scratch which wont mean a thing to anyone. Just one less horse that could cause potential trouble to a horse about to make its move. I dont care if its a 4 horse field. I just wanna se Bernardini win impressively.
