Excellent field for this year's running of the Travers. Appears that the pace should be very honest up front. Because of the sloppy track conditions, looking for the close stalkers to take command on the far turn here and hold off the late closers.

#4 Quality Road (Win & Place)
#4 Quality Road/#7 Kensei (Exacta Box)

Good luck everyone!
