2019 Travers Stakes Betting

The three-year-old division in the United States continues to be one of the most fascinating stories to follow in the world of thoroughbred racing right now and it looks like the Triple Crown series just left us with even more unanswered questions about who really is the best horse out there.

With Kentucky Derby winner Country House being ruled out for the rest of the year with a four-year-old campaign already in consideration, there are a lot of interesting betting options out there right now and the Travers Stakes looks like it’s going to be a key contest to see what’s happening come the Breeders’ Cup in November.

There is plenty to like about the race and it appears as though Game Winner, last year’s two-year-old champion, is coming into the race as the betting favourite with a price of around 4/1 right now with several bookmakers in the ante post markets. He wasn’t able to muster up the great performances many expected of him this season but he’s as talented as any and you can assume that Bob Baffert is going to have him in sharp form.

Tacitus is another interesting option here and you’ll find him available around a 5/1 price tag and will be looking to build on his performance in the Belmont Stakes two weeks ago. His breeding indicates that he’s going to enjoy the ten furlong distance here.

Omaha Beach can be backed around a 13/2 price tag and looks good value for money with his price almost certainly likely to be lower than that on the day.

Punters will also find War of Will and Maximum Security both trading at 10/1 and looking like solid value for the victory. War of Will definitely has some more momentum after Maximum Security lost on his first run back since the Kentucky Derby.
