Just to be correct, it was a "stakes" race that was contested directly before the Jim Dandy.
Also, while it looks like it may have worked out well so far as creating two possible Travers starters, I think it's probably a stretch to say that PJ "knew" that no one from that stakes race would have contested the Jim Dandy when the condition book came out the first week of July. Tizbig, for example, had just finished second in the Dwyer, and Pascal was a "wiseguy" selection in the Saratoga race off an interesting running line in the Dwyer as well.
