This Saturday Saratoga presents The Travers Stakes, commonly referred to as the mid-summer classic for 3 year old colts running the Derby distance of 1 & 1/4 miles on the dirt for a purse of $1,000,000. Included in this year's field is Quality Road, the Florida Derby winner and favorite to win the Kentucky Derby until he was injured. He is once again fully healthy. Also, running is Summer Bird, winner of the Belmont Stakes, Charitable Man, winner of the Peter Pan Stakes and Kensei, winner of the Dwyer Stakes. Seven horses are entered with post time being 5:46 EDT. This is the jewel of the Saratoga meeting. Our Horse Racing Forum will have many of our respected handicappers providing opinions on this important race. Below are the entries, post positions, and morning line odds for the race. Good luck everyone!

Great little field here.Can make a case for everybody.

Unfortunately it will be a typical Adirondack/Travers day-very wet.Gate speed will be even more important tomorrow.(not that it hasn't been the whole meet.)GL boys

King's Bishop Stakes going in a second on ESPN. 1, 2, 3 trifecta box for me. Just a random bet. I know nothing. Wish me luck.

Or wait. I don't know if it helps or not. Either way I'm happy to win.

4, 2, 6 trifecta for the last race. Just a few bucks. Figure I have money to burn... Once again I don't know much other than the Triple Crown horses. This Kensei feller scares me.

Good luck fellas. Kensei is likely to mess my tri up.

Threw in a 1,4,6 tri box on another whim. No clue why.

Quality Road bucked his rider but they got him in the gate.
