Travers Stakes 2023: Win, Place, Show, Exacta, Trifecta and Superfecta picks

The 2023 Travers Stakes will take place on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course. There is a loaded field of 3-year-olds, with the three Triple Crown race winners all expected to compete, as well as American 2-year-old champion Forte. The latest 2023 Travers Stakes odds have Forte as the 7-5 favorite, followed by Belmont Stakes winner Arcangelo at 5-2 and Kentucky Derby winner Mage at 4-1.

With an accomplished field set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to see what racing insider and Beyer Speed Figure maker Bob Weir has to say before making any Travers Stakes picks.

A member of the Beyer Speed Figure-making team, Weir is a two-time qualifier for the prestigious National Horseplayers Championship in Las Vegas. He has produced multiple five-figure days at the track over the years, including a $60,000 Pick 6 at Del Mar in 2014.

Last year, he was red-hot in the Triple Crown prep races, hitting the superfecta in the Blue Grass Stakes for $1,678 and exactas in the Fountain of Youth Stakes and Tampa Bay Derby. He also hit the 19-1 winner of the Man o' War Stakes, the trifecta in the Pegasus World Cup, the superfecta in the Met Mile and multiple Pick 4s.

In April of this year, he hit a Pick 4 at Gulfstream Park for $641, the exacta in the Florida Derby, a Pick 5 at Keeneland and the exacta in the Lexington Stakes. He smashed the trifecta in the Belmont Stakes for $532.96, and later in June, he crushed a Pick 4 at Belmont for $555. Those are just some of his scores this year. In each of the last two years, his top pick has won the Travers Stakes!

While a slew of horses could hit the board in the 2023 Travers Stakes, Weir is highly confident in a small group, isolating them for his exactas, trifectas and superfectas! He also has a SHOCKING opinion on race favorite Forte! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in your picks.
