Saratoga Race 13 - Draftkings Travers S. Stakes
RENEGADE (5) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past eight starts. Last time out he scored over 1811m at this track. Looks the one to beat again. GOLDEN TEMPO (9) comes here off a break of 12 weeks. Scored over 1207m at Fairgrounds at the start of last prep. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. BABY VINO (8) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by half a length over 1811m in the G1 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One to consider. NAPOLEON SOLO (3) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished second, beaten half a length, over 1811m in the G1 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of another big run.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 8 at this track on July 25 over 1811m, 3 len behind Wynstock with 55kg at $1.55. The run before that 5th of 9 in a G1 The Belmont Stakes at this track on June 6 over 2012m, 9 len behind Golden Tempo carrying 57kg at $6.89. Racing okay but look elsewhere.

Looking to keep his unbeaten record intact. When well in the market on debut, won by 6 len at Churchill Downs on June 7 over 1408m defeating Don's Winner carrying 53.5kg at $2.29. Last start ran on from midfield and won by a 0.3 len in the G3 Indiana Derby at Horseshoe Indianapolis on July 11 over 1710m defeating Our Moneyman with 53.5kg at $1.50. Limited galloper who might need an easier race.
