A number of top three year-olds "prepped" for the Travers in the Whitney in the 1970-80s, when the meet was only 24 days (and horses didn't need four weeks between races). Alydar demolished a strong field in the 1978 Travers, and Java Gold won the 1987 Whitney over fellow 3YO Gulch.

The amount of weight carried was always one of the impressive things about Affirmed's Jim Dandy.
