Travers Stakes Racing Roundup

 Hello everyone. Welcome to the 21st Century Thoroughbred.

Occasionally I will profile a race that is not on the Kentucky Derby Trail and in the Travers Stakes (G1) this Saturday at Saratoga Racecourse there are three horses I like as potentials to finish in the money or, perhaps, upset.

Rich Strike is 10-1 on the morning line and he was my pick to upset in the Kentucky Derby. Gilded Age and Ain’t Life Grand are horses I profiled as yearlings at auction, and they have the breeding be a factor in this race.

Last but not the least, Epicenter has been tabbed as the 7-5 morning-line favorite. I liked him in the Kentucky Derby, and I like him in this race, too.

Post time for the Travers Stakes is 5:44 p.m. Eastern Time.
