Horse Racing Tips, Picks & Betting Odds - Breeders Cup, Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes

Kentucky Derby winner, Street Sense, was chosen as the overwhelming 3-5 favorite on Wednesday for Saturday’s $1 million Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course. Street Sense recently won the Jim Dandy Stakes here last month.

Jim Dandy was the colt’s first since he was beaten by Curlin in the Preakness Stakes. The 3-year-old did not run in the Belmont Stakes, the final jewel of the Triple Crown.

Trained by Carl Nafzger, Street Sense will be ridden by Calvin Borel and leave from post position #4 in the field of seven that will cover 1 1/4 miles on Saturday.

Street Sense is attempting to become the 10th horse to win the Derby and Travers. Thunder Gulch was the last to accomplish the feat in 1995.
