7 horses that ran in the KD are in. That has to be some kind of record for the Travers.

Derby, Preakness, Belmont winners, top 2 from the Dandy and Haskell, Derby runner up, and by post time none of them will likely wind up the favorite. Not the fastest Travers field ever assembled but certainly has to be the best in terms of recent top two finishes in top races.

The 1987 Travers didn't have the runner-up in the Jim Dandy (Pledge Card) drawing just the 3rd place finisher (Cryptoclearance) instead. But the field also included the 1-2 finishers from the Whitney (Java Gold and Gulch) with the winners of the Grade 1 American Derby and Grade 1 Swaps thrown in as well. The only classic-placed horse missing was Avie's Copy, otherwise the race would have had the 1-2-3 finishers in all 3 Triple Crown races.

The overall career accomplishments of the field is staggering.
