The Travers is a million dollar G1 with a very open field headed by Little Warm, which probablt best
describes the market. He's 7/2, with Trappe Shot 4/1 and we haven't given up on Ice Box at 10/1, with
the Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver and Afleet Express both at 6/1.
The Ballerina for the ladies has 7 runners with Julian Laperoux's mount Informed Decision at 5/2, the
useful Jessica is Back at 7/2 and Qualia and Warbling 4/1.
The King's Bishop is Gr 1 over 1400m with 7 3yos. Todd Pletcher's Discreetly Mine is 6/5,
D'Funnybone 5/2 and Bulldogger 5/1.
And Sunday Rachel Alexandra is to run in the Personal Ensign. She's not got much opposition with
Life at Ten being possibly the most challenging of them.
At Del Mar the Classic is on the synthetic track and some of these runners have most recent form on
turf, such as The Usual QT who won the Eddie Read. He's nevertheless at 3/1 with last year's winner
Richard's Kid at 7/2 and former English runner Crowded House (now with Ben Cecil) and Dakota Phone
also in the mix.
The Del Mar Mile is G2 on turf with 7 to run and Enriched and Meteore possibly the top two.
