Players' Podcast - Travers Stakes 2026 Weekend Recap w/ PTF & JK

Author: In The Money Media August 31, 2026 Duration: 34:37

In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) and Jonathon Kinchen (JK) sit down to recap a big weekend of horse racing action topped by a sensational running of the Travers Stakes 2026, where Brad Cox runner Leading Change stayed unbeaten and downed the cream of the 3-year-old crop to win the Grade 1 in just his third start. Leading Change bounded boldly by Preakness Stakes 2026 winner Napoleon Solo while locking Kentucky Derby 2026 and Belmont Stakes 2026 winner Golden Tempo out from his rail run to get the victory under a golden ride by hot jockey Manny Franco. With the titans of the division foiled by such a precocious runner, the Travers Stakes paints an interesting picture for divisional honors as well as if any of the 3-year-olds hold any weight against older horses coming up towards the Breeders' Cup Classic.

The weekend included so many other notable moments from Kentucky Downs starting its 2026 season to Englishman running another scorcher to win the H. Allen Jerkens 2026 on the Travers Stakes undercard. This is a stacked episode with plenty to talk about and opine on for the Breeders' Cup picture!
