Travers Weekend Looms; New Special Grid Deal
.
Wednesday, August 21. The big news of the week is Saratoga race track reaching its climax with the always highly anticipated Travers weekend. They’ll have 1 stakes race today, 2 tomorrow, and 6 on Friday, leading up to the Big Saturday with 8 stakes races, all but one of which are Grade 1 events.
.
The Man O’War Cup is awarded to the Travers Stakes winner.
.
Of course the highlight race is the 150th running of the $1.25 million Travers, but there is also $3.5 million up for grabs in the other graded stakes races, for a total of over $5 million in purse money offered on the day. So we’re breaking down the Travers and some of the other races right here on this page.
.
We’re also going to try something new with the Grid. Realizing that some people don’t want or need any handicapping materials for more than a short period of time here and there, we’re offering a 1 week only plan!
.
You get 7 days of access for 1 payment of only $7. Last week our members got over 25 Grids for over a dozen different tracks, including of course every race day for Saratoga, Del Mar, etc. You could alternately buy a big black and white book at the track each day for $5 or whatever they’re charging now.
.
.
To put that all in perspective, you could pay $1 per day instead of $5, for a Grid that’s color coded and has the information you need, that you can also print. It takes 2-3 pages per track instead of 2-3 pages per race. So it’s perfect for those heading to Saratoga for a week or just the weekend.
.
The Grid is also portable and I often use it on my medium sized phone or tablet, so if you have a smartphone with a decent sized screen or small tablet, it’s ideal to just pull up the Grid on that instead of carrying around an overpriced, oversized book with you.
.
Of course, this will cause work on my end but it will be worth it to see what the response is and provide our product to some people that normally don’t get reached. You can find that new non-subscription option on this page.
.
That’s it for news today. Good luck this week in all your endeavors.
