Following close second-place finishes in two marquee races last weekend, the baton is passed to capable runners for West Point Thoroughbreds this weekend with Integration and Jaxon Traveler.

Integration is 9-to-2 on the morning line for Friday’s $600,000 Maker’s Mark Mile Stakes (G1) at Keeneland. A Grade 2 winner last fall, the 4-year-old colt colt is looking to avenge the only loss in his career, when he got stymied in traffic in the Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup Turf.

On Saturday, Jaxon Traveler will pursue millionaire status: he brings a career bankroll of $891,849 into the $500,000 Count Fleet Handicap (G3) at Oaklawn.

Jaxon Traveler has been on a roll lately, winning the Zia Park Sprint Stakes, the Bill Thomas Memorial at Sunland, and the Grade 3 Whitmore at Oaklawn over his last four starts. Flavien Prat retains the mount on the 6yo veteran for trainer Steve Asmussen.
