Pletcher to have no horses in the Travers

Nope, he's blatantly said that he simply feels the Brooklyn fits better with the BC goal. He said the same thing with Rags, that she would be ready to go in the Alabama but he would rather just have one prep going into the BC. His emphasis (along with others) on bringing "fresh" horses into the BC is really ruining the fall racing calendar. I hope it backfires and he gets shut out at the BC again. This sport desperately needs a points system to stop this "BC or bust" mentality.
