When Travis got the job, I sent him my condolences.
One thing lost in the translation yesterday was that the 12 horse in the last race was "not eligible to be claimed per NYRA house rule." So Servis claimed him about ten months ago, ate all the costs in the meantime, and was able to bring him back for the same price without risking him for claim. He is not allowed to drop him down and is only able to do it the first start off a long claim. Horses coming off long layoffs can make their first start and not be claimed if the trainer decides to exercise that clause.
You could tell by the fact that there was no claiming price in his past peformance line and it is in the overnight.
