You can look at what those horses did later and try and say it was a good field but at that time those horses had done nothing and all have still done nothing at 10 furlongs on the dirt.

When I get the PPs for the entries for this year's Travers I'll do a comparison but I am guessing top to bottom this year will win every matchup.
I can't argue numbers or beyers, however why should they be the sole determining factor of quality unless it's a dirt low number. I would prefer a balanced approach of common sense, the analysing of races, race dynamics, the competition and the numbers to reach a fair conclusion.
