Last years Travers was a great betting race but the Col John of 2008 would be 40-1 in this field. Hell, if they could smuggle him into the race right now, he'd be 50-1, as a 4yo. The 3yo crop of 2008 never failed to disappoint me.

This is a great lineup, even without RA. MTB won the Derby and was 2nd then 3rd in the rest of the TC. Summer Bird won the Belmont off a decent Derby. QR wond the Florida Derby, Kensei won the Jim Dandy and is a horse for the course. Warrior's Reward appears to be about as good as Kensei. It's a very good lineup of proven stakes quality 3yo's. I do with that a Cal based runner was shipping in though.

Look at who we have in late Aug and imagine what the bunch might look like had we not lost IWR, The Pamplemousse and Fresian Fire. This is a very nice bunch of horses.
