I thought Summer bird and Quality Roads performance in the Gold Cup even further vindicates the notion that the Travers was not only tougher but much tougher than the Woodward.

This really is a poor opinion.. Where is Summer Birds big race on anything but slop.. QR at 10f's was a complete toss.. Summer Bird might be just ok on anything but slop and as we already know Rachel destroyed him in the slop. The Travers field has been hardly flattered nor has the Woodward field but the seasoned horses that made up the Woodward at least were triple digit BSF animals. How many in the Travers will ever be triple digit horses at 9 or10fs again?

The Travers field produced the first two finishers in the Gold Cup (a pretty fair race) while the Woodward field has done ........what have they done exactly?

Bullsbay?
Macho Again?

Yeah right freddy, Summer bird and Quality Road arent better than the Woodward field.

Both those horses were pointed for the Woodward.. QR is a best at 8 or 9 and SB is may just be a slop colt.. What makes you think he is so good..

SB may not be Seattle Slew but he is far better and more accomplished that Bullsbay or macho Again or any other from that bunch.
