<p>All eyes in the horse racing world will be on Saratoga Race Course as it’s time for the annual Travers Stakes. This race is often called the “Mid-Summer Derby,” and it’s a race that will have a loaded field of successful horses.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Trainers and jockeys are all looking to enter their top horses as there is a purse that is worth $1.25 million this weekend. A pair of highly-successful horses are going to headline this event, but all eight that are entered are good enough to win.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a quick look at the current odds for the Travers Stakes and a pick of how things are going to play out.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Four in the Mix</h2>



<p>When looking at the <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betdsi/">betting</a> odds to win the Travers Stakes, there appears to be a clear gap between the top four horses, and the rest of the field. Dornoch is the horse that leads the group of favorites as that horse has odds set at +250 to come away with the win. </p>



<p>Those odds make sense when you look at how Dornoch has been running this year, as it was the winner of the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga. Fierceness and Thorpedo Anna are the next two horses to watch, and they are both sitting with odds of +300 heading into this race.&nbsp;</p>



<p>While the odds might be the same, most would agree that Thorpedo Anna is the biggest name to watch when looking at the field. These two horses are both good enough to win, but it’s Thorpedo Anna that has proven it can keep up with Dornoch.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Sierra Leone is the other horse to watch in this race as it has odds set at +350, sitting just behind the top horses. There is no guarantee that one of the top four horses will win the Travers Stakes, but they are favored for a reason.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Others in the Field</h2>



<p>There are four other horses set to run in the Travers Stakes, but those horses are not expected to be in contention. Betting odds for the Travers Stakes fall off in a big way, but this would be where you should look for some value.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here are the odds for the four other horses set to run in this race:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Unmatched Wisdom +800</li>



<li>Corporate Power +1500</li>



<li>Batten Down +2000</li>



<li>Honor Marie +2000</li>
</ul>



<p>You can see that Unmatched Wisdom is still well ahead of the rest when it comes to this group of horses, but there is still a gap between the betting favorites.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Picking a Winner</h2>



<p>There will be many different ways to bet on the Travers Stakes, but <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betdsi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting</a> on the outright winner is going to be the best way to go. This is a loaded field, and that is going to lead to a thrilling race at Saratoga over the weekend. </p>



<p>Focusing on the top four betting favorites is going to be the way to go, as you will be taking a big risk looking elsewhere. Most expect that Dornoch will have a big win in this race, and that’s the way to go.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Jump on Dornoch at +250 to come away with a win at the Travers Stakes.</p>
