Tale of Slowkati had a career high Beyer of 95 going into the race, had a 93 in his last race which was his highest as a 3yo.

Court Vision had a career high Beyer on the dirt of 90.

Cool Coal Man had a career high Beyer of 98.

You can look at what those horses did later and try and say it was a good field but at that time those horses had done nothing and all have still done nothing at 10 furlongs on the dirt.

When I get the PPs for the entries for this year's Travers I'll do a comparison but I am guessing top to bottom this year will win every matchup.
