The $1.25 million DraftKings Travers Stakes is arguably the most important race of the summer racing calendar in the United States, a 1 ¼-mile dirt race for 3-year-olds at Saratoga Race Course that typically attracts many of the racehorses fans got to know on that year’s Triple Crown. This year is no exception as the famed “Mid-Summer Derby” on Aug.

Any doubts that Godolphin's homebred Knightsbridge would be able to handle the 1 1/4 miles of the $1,003,000 Grade 1 Pacific Classic Stakes at Del Mar evaporated at the top of the stretch Aug.

My Gun's Loaded passed heavy favorite Counting Stars in the stretch and then held off a late bid by Measure nearing the wire to win the Grade 1 $600,000 Alabama Stakes presented by Keeneland Sales Aug.

Three-year-olds take the spotlight on the biggest day of racing at Century Mile in Edmonton, Alberta, Saturday evening with a competitive field entered in the $200,000 Grade 3 Canadian Derby. The Canadian Derby anchors a card featuring three other stakes races and its distance of 1 ¼ miles will be a test of stamina for the entrants, as all but one have not raced this far before.

There were 44 stakes races run across North America last week, including a memorable King’s Plate card at Woodbine and key graded stakes action at Saratoga and Del Mar, which led to significant changes in every division on the North American leaderboard.
