How common is this? I assume if they think he's still got a shot for the Travers it can't be real serious.

More important than the Travers, though: Will he still be leading the post parade for the All-American Futurity?

They're also nominating for the Pennsylvania Derby, an longshot possibility for Rachel Alexandra. It's a G2 but worth $1 mil. Bloodhorse calls PA Derby a G1 instead of a G2 for some reason. Someone might've made an assumption based on the purse.
