One of the most important races held in the United States each year is the $1.25 million, Grade 1 DraftKings Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course. The 1 1/4-mile “Mid-Summer Derby” regularly draws some of the best 3-year-old Thoroughbreds from around the United States, and the 2024 edition — coming up this Saturday — is no exception.

For the eighth year in a row, America’s Best Racing is challenging some of the brightest minds in horse betting to come up with their top three picks for key races every weekend leading up to the 2024 Triple Crown and then continuing through the 2024 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. The handicappers face off in what we like to call the “Big-Race Showdown.”

The Grade 1, $300,000 Del Mar Oaks presented by Keeneland Sales Saturday, Aug. 15 at Del Mar brings together a nice field of eight fillies running 1 1/8 miles on grass with three last-out stakes winners and four others that have won or placed in stakes in one of their last two races.

The $1 million King’s Plate Stakes at Woodbine typically draws a large field. The historic race for 3-year-old Thoroughbreds born in Canada is that country’s equivalent to the Kentucky Derby and is even held over the same 1 ¼-mile distance, albeit on an all-weather Tapeta Footings surface rather than dirt.
