Maggie Wolfendale looks back at the Travers Stakes & the Forego Stakes at Saratoga.

After a defeat in the Travers Stakes (G1), Cherie DeVaux is ready to turn the page and prep Golden Tempo for his bid in the Oct. 31 $7 million Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) at Keeneland.

A total of 724 yearlings have been cataloged for the Sept. 14-17 Hidaka Horse Breeders’ Association’s September Sale. The four-day sale features five yearlings by Efforia, Japan’s current leading freshman sire with 10 juvenile winners.

Trainer Brad Cox’s confidence in Leading Change paid off in a big way Aug. 29 as he won the Travers Stakes (G1) at Saratoga Race Course.

Beiwacht may be steered toward international targets after making a sensational return to score his third elite triumph in the Aug. 29 Memsie Stakes (G1) over 1,400 meters (about 7 furlongs) at Caulfield Racecourse.

Test Score returns to Del Mar in style with a narrow victory in the Del Mar Handicap (G2T) under Juan Hernandez. The son of Lookin At Lucky edged Atitlan at the end of the 1 3/8 miles, with four-time defending champion Gold Phoenix a close fourth.

Diving inside through the stretch, Doubledown Stables’ Mid American quickens to capture the Aug. 29 Kentucky Downs Juvenile Sprint Stakes, becoming the first stakes winner for sire Epicenter.

For more than a decade, owners Sol Kumin of Madaket Stables, Michael Dubb, and Michael Caruso have successfully teamed with trainer Chad Brown to buy European turf runners and import them. You can add Naomis to that lengthy list of winners.

Leading Change, with Manny Franco aboard the son of Gun Runner, got past a game Napoleon Solo inside the final sixteenth to win the Travers Stakes (G1) at Saratoga Race Course.

It’s no secret that a grade 1 race at Saratoga Race Course is never easy, and Hymn and jockey Ricardo Santana Jr. worked hard for their victory while holding off late surges from three rivals to come home a three-quarter-length winner.
