![]() My guess is they'd prefer one more race before the BC, not 2. I don't know that there is a suitable one on the calendar midway between now and the BC. If not, somebody will write him one, or enhance a pre-existing race (like the Mass Cap did for Cigar, etc.)

![]() Zayat has certainly said all the right things regarding the horse and the fans. Well the fans want to see him run in the Travers, lets see if he puts his money where is mouth is now.

![]() There are bonuses tied to specific goals in the Coolmore contract. Created races (like the one MTH offered) wouldn't be in it.

![]() OK, last time . . . it's not about the money. The connections have more money than Fort Knox . . . it's about prestige, history and more than anything taking the right path for the horse and the fans.
Forget about the purses and money. That said, Travers and BC Classic get ready.
