NY Traffic to skip Belmont and aim for The Travers

It's interesting how there is little interest in the Triple Crown this year with some major factor horses skipping it like Maxfield and Honor AP. I wouldn't put NY Traffic in the "major factor" category, but he usually is in the thick of things and could be a late bloomer.

Crap! Maxfield isn’t going anywhere-injured

Oh man....

Wow.  and this started out as  the "super horse" year ... 

I know, especially with the pushed back TC. Just another Derby year with injuries marring the probables. Some things never change......

 2020 sucks- in so many respects- and with horse racing, so many good ones going down with injuries. sigh

Well, I agree. The Belmont Stakes is "shaping down" to a field of 8 with no particularly exciting meetups. Gouverneur Morris now out, Basin in.

 It's a shame: the Belmont was shaping up to be a great race: sigh
