In what many in the horse racing business consider one of the most important races in the career of a race horse, the Travers Stakes will run at the Saratoga Race track this afternoon. This horse race will have a $1 million purse, and is easily one of the biggest grade 1 horse races of the summer. The race will be one and a quarter miles over dirt. Below are the betting odds for the race itself:
1. Miner’s Reserve +1200
2. Trappe Shot +400
3. Admiral Alex +1200
4. First Dude +800
5. A Little Warm +350
6. Ice Box +1000
7. Afleet Express +600
8. Fly Down +800
9. Friend Or Foe +1500
10. Afleet Again +3000
11. Super Saver +600
As you can see, Super Saver, the winner of the Kentucky Derby will be in this race as well as Ice Box, who was the runner up. Fly Down was the runner up in the Belmont Stakes, and First Dude, finished second in the Preakness. Clearly there are a lot of fast horses, as well as talented jockeys in the Travers Stakes this year.
