Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 28, 2021 Journalists Posted August 28, 2021 Champion Essential Quality (c, 3, Tapit–Delightful Quality, by Elusive Quality) narrowly outslugged the pacesetting Midnight Bourbon (Tiznow) in a thrilling renewal of Saturday's GI Runhappy Travers S. at Saratoga. Miles D (Curlin) was third. The 2-5 favorite chased in second through fractions of :24.18 and :48.96. Essential Quality challenged Midnight Bourbon as they hit the quarter pole, and those two threw down in the stretch, with the GI Belmont S. winner edging clear late to take it by a neck. The final time for 1 1/4 miles was 2:01.96. Last year's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile hero entered off a win in the local GII Jim Dandy S. July 31. Lifetime Record: 9-8-0-0. O/B-Godolphin; T-Brad Cox.
