1987 Travers: A Cup Of Java

In commonly-used American slang, the words java and mud refer to coffee, the morning booster most of us need before we can begin our day.

zatt · As part of an excellent crop, and an outstanding Travers field, Java Gold was the best of the best in late summer/fall that year, slop or not. Thanks for the wonderful trip down memory lane, Nick! · 305 days ago ·

TerryMonbleau · That was my very first Travers, it was a great race. One of my favorites of the race was when Alysheba entered the paddock to the cheers of the crowd. He was beautiful and carried himself like a champion! · 305 days ago ·

Mike in SB · I have been going to the Travers since 1985 and the 1987 race had the best field of any I have seen, but the rain and off track made it very disappointing to me.

What a race it would have been on a fast track. · 304 days ago ·

travel_vic · 87 had a nice cast but many had gone SOUTH form wise, i.e Alysheba who could not run on lasix in New York, Temperate Sil was a joke, the wrong style (too late without his rabbit) Cryptoclearance had a shot but could not get there, Polish Navy , Gulch and Bet Twice · 304 days ago ·
