The gap between the 2 has closed, unless one subscribes to the theory that yesterday's Travers was weak, also you can't believe Summer Bird had a realistic chance at Monmouth on that track at less than the classic distance and the way the race played out by Kent D engaging Munnings early on while Rachel watched? All things considered he did well to hold 2nd in that race.

Regardless the racing season does not end in August or September so let's watch and enjoy some rivalries. I'm sure John Henry, Secretariat and even Funny Cide didn't rest on their laurels after the end of summer, they continued to race and test themselves well into the yr.
