Win or lose, that was a huge effort by Vineyard Haven.

Oh yeah, he's gotta come down.

No way. Garcia even got off him knowing there won't be any picture today. Too bad, I had him too.

Yeah it's too bad, he would have won IMO, he wasn't letting Candyman go by without a fight. It was the right call for a change by these stewards. Trust me I've been on the wrong end of many of their calls, this one was a good call.

I think Summer Bird wins the Travers, and Tim Ice sits in w/ Byk for the rest of the meet.
