I think so. I thought it was a mistake at the time when they ran Purge in the Belmont but Pletcher was able to salvage things and now has a big chance in the Travers. But then again so do several others.
As far as Society Selection goes I thought Bailey did her no justice here at Gulfstream with his go to the front of the pack, surge to the lead at the quarter pole, or stalking style with damn near every horse he rides. I had this filly in the Frizette because of her buried TG number in her 5 furlong maiden win. She gave me every impression then that she was a closer, then Bailey tries to turn here into a stalker. Jerkins regrouped, she found a track she loves and made things interesting for the 3YO Filly Eclipse.
Bailey is still the top guy around but we are seeing more and more races these days like the Travers where he doesn't have a mount.
