Join Bodog Today, "the World's Greatest Sports, Casino, Poker and Horse Wagering Site on the Web!" Saratoga is known as the graveyard of favorites so look for some big payoffs. Secretariat, Damascus, and a host of others have been beaten at the Spa. The top race at the Spa is the Travers Stakes, sometimes called the "Summer Derby." It's for three-year-olds and we could see all of the winners of the Triple Crown races in the Travers, plus some of the runners-up. It's run in late August when every horse will be freshened up. On the left coast, the Delmar meet where the "surf meets the turf" in beautiful SoCal, will start its summer meet on July 19th and run until September 6th. The races there will also average over fifty thousand per event and will bring all the leading horses and trainers from northern and southern California together to run for the big money. The highlight of that meet is the Pacific Classic run on the last weekend of the program. The Classic is for 3-year-olds and up and is for 1 Mil in cold cash. If that's not enough for you the NYRA follows Saratoga with the Belmont Fall meet; the richest of them all, where the purses run close to sixty thousand per race and is loaded with Grade l stakes. And the icing on the racing cake comes on November 4th at Churchill Downs, the Breeders Cup, $20 million in purses will be up for grabs that day for any and all the great horses in training through the world. So look for my future columns and I'll give a pick or two and keep you updated on the major stakes coming up at your favorite venues.
