One year after just missing in the Travers (G1), Horse of the Year Thorpedo Anna was involved in another thriller on Saratoga’s marquee Saturday.

The Travers Day program at Saratoga on Saturday features three Breeders' Cup Challenge races, with the $500,000 Personal Ensign (G1) garnering much of the pre-race day attention.

A drop in class and a dry racing surface were conditions that helped propel Leslie's Rose to victory in the $200,000 Shuvee (G2) at Saratoga on Friday.

Although Friday’s $200,000 Shuvee (G2) at Saratoga isn’t a Grade 1 race, the 49th running of the 1 1/8-mile dirt race for fillies and mares has drawn a top-tier field.

The Belmont Stakes Racing Festival kicks up a gear at Saratoga on Friday, with a total of six graded stakes on tap. Fillies and mares take center stage in the three dirt stakes.

Entering this historic weekend of racing at Churchill Downs, both the Kentucky Oaks (G1) and Kentucky Derby (G1) had proven elusive prizes for Kentucky-born trainer Kenny McPeek. He can now put a checkmark beside the Oaks after Thorpedo Anna's convincing score in the 150th edition of the 1 1/8-mile fixture for three-year-old fillies on Friday.

Seven weeks out from the 2024 Kentucky Derby (G1) at Churchill Downs, bettors are having trouble landing on a clear favorite, as evidenced by the results of Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 5.
