The Travers is the Travers after all…
Travers, Not Woodward, Next for Shackleford

Preakness (gr. I) winner Shackleford likely will contest the $1 million Travers Stakes (gr. I) Aug. 27, instead of taking on older horses in the Woodward Stakes (gr. I) a week later, trainer Dale Romans said Aug. 7.
“The Travers is the Travers,” Romans said of the 1 1/4-mile test for 3-year-olds. “We can run in the Woodward next year. That’s really the bottom line. It’s too prestigious and classy a race to pass up.”
