Travers 2011 logo. Stay Thirsty, Raison d'Etat and J W Blue, all of whom worked on Sunday for planned starts in the Grade 1, $1 million Travers Stakes on Saturday, appeared to emerge from their works in good order and remain on track for the race, their connections said Monday.

Trainer Todd Pletcher reported that Mike Repole's Grade 2 Jim Dandy winner Stay Thirsty, as well as 2010 champion 2-year-old male Uncle Mo, who also breezed Sunday in preparation for a planned start in the Grade 1 Foxwoods King's Bishop, were both "great" following their works.

In Hall of Famer Bill Mott's barn, Juddmonte Farms' Curlin Stakes runner-up Raison d'Etat also exited his work in good shape.

"He walked the shed this morning, and he'll go to the track tomorrow," Mott said. "He'll school on Wednesday in the paddock."

Meanwhile, trainer Tony Dutrow revealed that J W Blue, most recently second in Delaware Park's Barbaro Stakes, was showing good signs the morning after his work.

"He ate up last night and his energy is good this morning," said Dutrow.
