Travers

With such an evenly balanced field, exotics seem to be the best way to approach that race.

I recall the last time all three Triple Crown winners got together and the gray, Runaway Groom mowed them all down late. Frank Wright (on the CBS telecast) as they were in the post parade; "this one is a tremendous stretch runner."

On Conquistador Cielo: "There is nothing physically apparent with him to give rise to all the rumors. I don't know why the 4 wraps were added. That is not a Woodby Stephens."

Gato Del Sol has lost his form

Aloma's Ruler; "just a scant three weeks ago this one was treated with antibiotics for a throat infection and was doubtful he would make this race."
