If Mine that Bird shows up the Travers will be just fine. This would only be the second time since Thunder Gulch that the Derby winner has made it to the starting gate for the Travers. Throw in the Belmont winner, the Dandy winner, and Quality Road and it is still one of the better Travers in recent years even without Rachel.
