Leading Change Pulls Off Upset Victory in Travers Stakes

In a surprising turn of events at Saratoga Race Course, the horse Leading Change, with jockey Manny Franco aboard, secured a victory in the prestigious Travers Stakes. The 10-1 longshot's win marked a significant achievement for both trainer Brad Cox and jockey Manny Franco, as it was their second career Travers Stakes triumph.

The race, often referred to as the "Midsummer Derby," saw considerable anticipation and expert predictions, with some analysts offering surprising picks for the event. However, Leading Change ultimately defied expectations to claim the coveted title. The weekend of racing at Saratoga was also highlighted by other notable events, including the Del Mar Handicap and the racing debut of Russell Wilson's horse, Club Reign.
