There is a significant difference that separates Saratoga from nearly any other track in the world. Horse players have a deep reverence for Saratoga that is simply not found anywhere else. Saratoga’s setting and tradition make it a must-see venue. Despite COVID-19 putting Saratoga trips on hold the quality horse racing continues. And Saturday brings a Dream Day card with the Horse Racing Betting. There are few races on the calendar that attract the attention and betting handle of the Travers Stakes. Saturday marks the running of the Travers along with four other feature races at Saratoga. But incredibly enough there is more than just Saratoga and the Travers for Saturday.
