Stay Thirsty Is Favorite In Travers

ESPN:

The last two Preakness winners to have run in the Travers won the race. Three of the last four Belmont Stakes winners that competed in the Travers also were victorious.
The field for Saturday's 142nd Travers at Saratoga includes Preakness winner Shackleford and Belmont Stakes winner Ruler On Ice. But New York Racing Association linemaker Eric Donovan believes there are at least two other horses who the betting public will find more appealing.
Donovan installed Jim Dandy winner Stay Thirsty as the 5-2 morning-line favorite followed by Haskell winner Coil at 3-1 for Saturday's $1 million Travers, which drew a field of 10. Shackleford, who was beaten a neck by Coil as the 3-2 favorite in the Haskell, was made the 9-2 third choice followed by Ruler On Ice (6-1).

The King's Bishop Stakes and the Travers Stakes will be broadcast from Saratoga on NBC starting at 5.  Uncle Mo is running in the King's Bishop
