Ed DeRosa called the Travers Stakes day card on Saturday, August 26, at Saratoga Race Course, the best non-Breeders' Cup card in the history of the American Turf, and beyond a highly competitive Midsummer Derby is a graded stakes slate featuring many of the top superstars in training.

The graded stakes action kicks off with the Personal Ensign Stakes, the first of six Grade 1s on the card and featuring champion Songbird against multiple Grade 1 winner Forever Unbridled. The action continues with the Ballerina Stakes before moving onto the all-Grade 1 Pick 4 of the Jerkens for three-year-olds going 7 furlongs, the Forego for older sprinters going 7 furlongs, the Sword Dancer at 1 1/2 miles, and the Travers.

Ed DeRosa and Scott Shapiro discuss each race as well as their wagering strategy for clobbering the Pick 4.

With guaranteed pools in all Pick 5s and Pick 4s on the 13-race Queen's Plate card Sunday, July 2, at Woodbine, wagering on Canada's biggest day of racing is so much more than just the Queen's Plate, though that is a great handicapping puzzle as well with 13 horses going 1 1/4 miles on the synethetic Tapeta surface.

Discussing Woodbine handicapping and this card in particular with Ed DeRosa is Emily Gullikson of OptixEQ. The pair dive into the Queen's Plate most in-depth but also touch on other races throughout the day.
