I am with you PP. The Dandy used to be run 13 days before the Travers. Then the meet went to 5 weeks and it became 20 days. Then the meet went to 6 weeks and the Dandy remained 20 days before the Travers, until recently when it went to 27 days. Blame it all on the Breeders Cup for the duck and dodge approach.
