With Birdstone\'s win in the Travers the 3yo Championship race is now really a race.
Even though Smarty Jones has the National Appeal he was still beat by one horse and that was Birdstone.
If Zito can pull off a win against older (I.E. Woodward, JC Gold Cup, B.C. Classic) or a strong 2nd in the Classic he can certainly get there.
If he should be champ is up for debate but it is now a race.

P.S.
One super smart TG user (And you know who you are) said this after the Travers and it stuck a real chord and I felt I should share it.
\"How can the winner of the Travers and Belmont only have a top on the beyers of only a 101?\" What\'s wrong with that picture?
