Saratoga Sat. Aug.25 Free Picks Travers Day $ 1 Million All Stakes Pick 4 Ballston Spa Test King’s Bishop Grid
Saturday August 25 free picks
Saratoga hosts the legendary Travers G1 stakes as their summer meet draws to a close with big graded stakes fireworks, including the Test G1, Kings Bishop G1, and Ballston Spa G2.
These 4 races also represent an all-graded-stakes pick 4 which has a $1 million pool guaranteed. Most people like us began handicapping this card a couple days beforehand.
So far there are a few standout horses in each field which offer no odds, but there are also good long shots that have a chance such as Amie’s Dini in the Test and Laurie’s Rocket in the Bishop.
The Travers itself looks wide open, and Alpha, while a great horse, is a very beatable favorite considering today’s surface and distance.
The top 3 late runners in the field are 8-1, 12-1, and 5-1 morning line’s respectively. There isn’t much speed in the field but the highest EP horse is at 15-1. Check out the FREE grid for more.
