So when he'd finished posting, he turned back towards the window,
Looked at the OTB in his yard, and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness, old PG didn't break even,
But in his final words, I found a moron that I could keep.

The Travers is infinitely more interesting than I ever would have imagined it would be in the spring. It looks very competitive.

Great Travers Card. If the weather stays fine, NYRA could have a great day.
Most interesting Travers field I've seen in many years. Good luck everyone!!

I agree. Not sure why sop many are complaining that its dull. The past 4 or 5 runnings have really hurt this race's great reputation. This field is the most competitive top to bottom since the early 90's.
You can go so many different ways in this year's race and will get paid for being right.

haven't looked at the whole card but the early PK4 is a cluster F. 3 MSW and a state-bred turf they drew 16 horses. I say easy 4 figure payout if not 5, if i only knew which ones to pick though

and yes, the travers field has depth galore, should be a great race to watch

gl all

First Saratoga card of the year that will have me going to the windows with both fists. The Travers came up much better than I expected.
