Your a figure guy. His CD races destroy everyone in this race. Including Alpha.

Probably the horse from the Haskell, the runner up.

The Travers field is hardly a top one historically speaking but it is hard to say that it isnt a pretty good race considering the rash of injuries to higher profile horses recently. At the very least virtually all of the horses in it are likely to continue to run and possibly develop into good 4 yo's though some may be competing in races with numbers next to them as opposed to names.

Let me ask this, why should anyone believe these east coast horses are on the same level as those from Cali? They've been getting slapped around all year in the big races.

So with most of the best 3 year olds retiring, it's making me wonder about some prominent ones earlier in the year-
Secret Circle?
Algorithms?
Mark Valeski?
Gemologist?
Creative Cause?

If the connections of some also-rans like Optimizer, Dullahan, Daddy Nose Best, My Adonis etc. knew there'd be more defections from this race than recruits from Penn St football, you probably would see even more entries lol
