SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) — If there were any questions about Epicenter after his runner-up finishes in the first two legs of the Triple Crown, they've likely disappeared. The favorite Saturday for the 153rd running of the $1.25 million Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, Epicenter left his rivals in his dusty wake with a riveting stretch run, beating Cyberknife by 5 1/4 lengths for his first Grade 1 triumph.

After getting back in the win column in Saturday’s H. Allen Jerkens Memorial (G1) at Saratoga Race Course, Jim Bakke, Gerald Isbister, Peter Brant, and Coolmore Stud’s Jack Christopher now has dead aim on the Breeders’ Cup on November 5 at Keeneland Race Course. But which Breeders’ Cup race the son of Munnings will contest is still unknown.

Jim Bakke, Gerald Isbister, Coolmore Stud, and Peter Brant’s Jack Christopher tracked the pace from second early, then moved to the lead nearing the stretch, and captured his third win at the elite level in the $500,000 H. Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes (G1) Saturday at Saratoga.

Jockey captures his 1,000th win at the track.
