Travers Field

I dont complain about field size, I complain about quality. Now the 2006 Travers has quality in it and I am very happy with the field.

Wasn't talking about you, was talking about the comment that the premier race at Toga was a seven horse field.

I know--I was just commenting.

King....I sort of agree with you....then again I sort of don't. Cheap lone speed can often be dangerous. If you let a horse get out there too far, your horse may get discouraged. I agree the KD has no shot in this race, but like it or not, horses are going to have to pass him. I still think the time will be between 2:01 and 2:03 like you mentioned. KD is not going to get the distance even if the fractions were slow. In my mind he is no threat. I want to see this horse in some mile races on the turf
