While on the other hand you could have the 3 triple crown winners facing off with not to mention a field with depth horses.

I don't agree with you on the reasoning why she is racing in the Woodward but I do agree with you on her winning the Traver's against this field is more impressive then winning against the field that is being assembled in the Woodward.

I think the whole The Traver's would have a Triple Crown like atomosphere, more so than usual, especially with a national TV coverage. having all three triple crown winner's, Florida Derby Winner and former KY Derby pre race favorite all entering the starting gate.

It would have been a major Spectacle.

Traver's is still going to be a fantastic race but if RA was there, with this deep field it would have Ky Derby feel to it.
