Dana,
NYRA did not pay any appearance fees what so ever. That's a foolish statement.
Baffert wanted no part of this and if Travers was in the original plan he would have come here after the Haskell instead of crossing the country.
Blame social media for driving this engine and Zayat's ego he wanted his great champion to win the Travers as only the 2nd TC winner and the only horse ever to win TC, Haskell and Travers. They succumbed to the publics out cry.
The legend of the great one's falling at the Spa continues and the next TC winner will try to break the "Grave yard of favorites" curse as well.
