The Traver's Stake-G1, billed as the Summer Derby goes on Saturday.
Interesting GSV/GSV2 averages for the Big Day.
Saturday average: GSV = 67.08 GSV2 = 68.42
Travers Stakes-G1 Dirt: GSV = 68.28 GSV2 = 69.81...7 horses
Bernard Baruch-G2 Turf: GSV = 69.51 GSV2 = 70.09...13 horses
King's Bishop-G1 Dirt: GSV = 67.04 GSV2 = 68,40...11 horses
Victory Ride-G3 Dirt: GSV = 66.25 GSV2 = 67.99...13 horses
Note the GSV and GSV2 averages of the days preceding the big day
Friday: GSV = 64.40 GSV2 = 65.78
Thursday: GSV = 64.21 GSV2 = 66.13
Wednesday: GSV = 63.45 GSV2 = 65.38
The Americans parade their best bred horses on this summer day
so that is the reason for the huge GSV/GSV2 average gain on that day.
