Jaxon Traveler points to Zia Park Sprint as next start

Jaxon Traveler will travel to New Mexico for his next start after becoming a millionaire in last month’s $100,000 David M. Vance at Remington Park in Oklahoma City.

Trainer Steve Asmussen said Jaxon Traveler is being pointed to the $100,000 Zia Park Sprint. The six-furlong race will be run on the Land of Enchantment card of stakes Nov. 26.

“That was kind of the race that got him back winning last year,” Asmussen said.

Jaxon Traveler had been winless in eight starts leading up the 2023 Zia Park Sprint, but turned in an outstanding performance. He zipped six furlongs in a rapid-fire 1:07.37 and since then has added four more wins to his resume in 2024.

Jaxon Traveler captured the Bob Thomas Memorial at Sunland Park, the Grade 3 Whitmore at Oaklawn, an allowance at Remington and the track’s Vance. The success put him over $1 million in earnings for West Point Thoroughbreds.

Overall, the 6-year-old son of Munnings is 11 for 33.
