Let me roll off the real impressive Travers winners. Unshaded, Lemon Drop Kid, Coranados Quest, Deputy Commander, I can't think of anymore. Nobody outside of big racing fans has heard of any of these horses.
Millions watch and listen to the derby, you can catch the Travers on ESPN2, as long as women's softball isn't running long. LOL.

Or Little League..
Still, the Travers is one I personally look forward to. My first one was Thunder Gulch. Wish i'd been there for Alydar's (too young).

Just me, but I love the Travers.
