Saratoga's my favorite place on the face of the earth but the Travers hasn't lived up to it's billing the last few years. It's a fair assessment in my opinion.

Overrated in the sense people call it the unoffical 4th triple crown race.

Well....It's been called the Mid-Summer Derby for some time.

Yeah I know, and that kind of naming is a little odd for me. In my mind, no way does the Travers compare to other top 3 year races.

Along with the Haskell, it is the mid summer million dollar giveaway

[quote=DaHoss9698]I was thinking the same thing. I am eagerly awaiting the explanation on this one.[/QUOTEThe Travers hasn't lived up to expectations the last few years. It's not the Travers fault, but everybody gears for the TC races and the Travers is an afterthought these days.
