Jess Jackson mentioned The Travers Stakes at Saratoga on August 29th.

If she is not ready and stays in New York another possibility is The Ruffian at Belmont on Sept 12th

Or she may return to Kentucky for the fall at CD. Keenland may be out due to the synthetic track although she did race there once before.

She is supposedly heading to the Woodward and Jackson would run Kensei in the Travers.

Quality Road vs Rachel in the Travers would be a huge race..hope it happens.

q-road looked real sharp off the layoff...that would be quite a matchup..kinda sick of hearing the zenyatta saga..they are never gonna run against each other...one runs on the astroturf of racing and rachel runs on the real stuff

It looks like Quality Road has come through in good shape after running the Amsterdam yesterday. Pletcher has indicated that they are planning on running him in the Travers. I'm glad to see that they didn't hurry him back and let him heal properly.


Todd Pletcher:
“He came out of the race very well,” said Pletcher. “Regardless of the time, we were very pleased with the way he ran, the way he finished, the way everything unfolded. It was so fast that I think everyone was like, ‘Is that legit?’ And when it was, it’s indicative of how good of a horse he is.”
