Shuvee will be directed by Jesse Davidson, the 1965 national riding champion, who has rated this filly brilliantly in all her 1969 starts. She dropped a head decision in a sprint to Ta Wee in her first start this year, but has since remained undefeated. The outcome? Watch it tomorrow on the telly. There are other horses in the race, and Jim Dandy won the Travers at 100-1, but an upset...
