On the Chinese lunar calendar, Aug. 7 marked autumn’s first day. Yet on the Gregorian calendar we’re a week away from a race known as the Mid-Summer Derby. That’s the Travers, and while 3-year-olds on stage this weekend are of the Canadian-foaled variety, both sophomore sets are tasked with racing 1 1/4 miles – 2.01 kilometers for those living under the cycles of the Chinese lunar year. Can the favorite make it that far?
King’s Plate
As of Tuesday, Saturday was supposed to feature an East Coast festival of turf racing, multiple graded stakes carded in New York and Virginia. Then Tropical Storm Debby began drifting north. What a downer. Colonial already has moved Saturday races to Sunday, and all the rain leaves limited stakes options.
Saratoga Special
