Travers Day is here; the 150th running of the midsummer derby takes place Saturday, with a total of 13 races — seven of which are graded stakes.
The first race took off just after 11:30 a.m. Mechanicville's Chad Brown is looking for his first Travers win. He has two horses in the race.
Javier Castellano is in the irons for one of Brown's horses, looking for his seventh win. A few other horses to keep your eye on include Jim Dandy winner Tax, and the morning line favorite Tactitus.
