Owner Mike Repole and trainer Todd Pletcher ended an emotionally draining 34-minute period on a high Saturday afternoon as Stay Thirsty vaulted to the top of the 3-year-old division with a determined 1 1/4-length victory over Rattlesnake Bridge in Saturday's $1 million Travers Stakes before a crowd of 43,050 at Saratoga.Today is a big day at Del Mar, with the Del Mar Handicap, the Pat O'Brien Stakes and the Pacific Classic.
Stay Thirsty's victory came one race after Uncle Mo last year's 2-year-old champion fell a nose short to Caleb's Posse in the Grade 1 King's Bishop in his first start in four months. Both Stay Thirsty and Uncle Mo are owned by Repole and trained by Pletcher.
