I dont mean to say Pletcher is a coward, I mean to say that he puts his horses in the best possible place to win. And sometimes that means ducking a horse (which is good sometimes).

Thats over top. Pletcher will not compromise his horse if he dosent like the 20 day turnaround. Da Cat is primed and even if Bernadini is a better horse, if both stay sound they will get a crack at eachother. Saying Pletcher will duck is just not true.

I think Tagg should have Showing Up take a crack at Bernardini in the Travers instead of racing him at Arlington. I know he's a better turf horse than dirt, but I still think he's better than Sunriver, SNS, Deputy Glitters (obviously), Steppenwolfer, and all the Cali horses on dirt. Plus, if I were the Jacksons, I'd be reluctant to send him to Arlington- even though all the breakdowns have been on turf.

Any ideas of who actually is pointed towards the Travers?
