Aug. 25 (UPI) -- Championship form rose to the top in weekend racing, with Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty, reigning Horse of the year Thorpedo Anna and crack Sprinter Book'em Danno winning Grade I races on a banner summer day at Saratoga.
Del Mar was in on the action, too, and Breeders' Cup bids were on the line in England. France hosted likely the best 2-year-old race so far this year.
So much quality ...
Classic
As they lined up for Saturday's $1.25 million DraftKings Travers at Saratoga, the main threat to Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes and Jim Dandy winner Sovereignty led all the way to open-lengths wins in his last two starts. Could he steal the Travers, too?
