I agree 100% If he wants to give the fans a show, then that's the spot, The Traver's. Sure die hard horse fans might think either the Personal Ensign or the Woodward is the better spot, but when you are talking about attracting people to the sport on a non Triple Crown, Non Derby event, this is it.
To them having the Ky Derby Winner, Preakeness Winner and Belmont Winner all in the same race peaks EVERYONE'S interest even the casual to non horse racing fan. And to be played out in front of a national audience instead of TVG is important.

This is what would be best for the sport.
