I thought it was very impressive and visually it was better the Wicked Strong race. Maybe he can't go a mile and a quarter, but you don't know until you try.

Strongest group of socal three year olds since.....thinking Tiznow and General Challenge, think that was the same year.

Congaree and Point Given was the same year as well. But there are three really good ones this year.

Different years for tiznow and general challenge.

Socal three year olds were mostly irrelevant during the heyday of synthetic

While Baffert has had success in the Haskell, he has not had the same type of success in the Travers where his only winner is Point Given.

How? Liaison, yes. I think Roman Ruler was like 9-5 with Bailey off of a Haskell win.
Coil had to have been pretty sure also. He won the Haskell in his previous start.

Roman ruler and coil were both very overrated and got exposed
