Fast-forward to the summer, as between the Haskell and the Travers, the Haskell presented the more opportune race for her (on a speed-favoring oval at 9F against a stretch-out sprinter and a horse that had not competed since the Belmont and who was clearly prepping for the Travers).

i think they were considering the travers next all along-as long as she did well in the haskell. but with kensei's emergence, jackson has a second travers prospect. rachel seems better than the other colts, so i can a reason to try older horses in the woodward and try to get the travers with the up and comer. i just don't agree that they're taking the 'safe' route with her. that would be shirreffs doing that!
