A perfect 3-for-3 as a juvenile, Jaxon Traveler looks to extend the success into a 3-year-old season Saturday in the $150,000 Gazebo Stakes at Oaklawn.
Recently crowned Maryland-bred champion 2-year-old male of 2020, the swift bay colt will be racing for the first time since his victory in the Maryland Juvenile Futurity on December 5 at Laurel Park.
West Point and Marvin Delfiner acquired Jaxon Traveler a year ago this week in the OBS March sale of 2-year-olds in training.
Trained by Steve Asmussen, Jaxon Traveler is the 5-to-2 second choice on the morning line, with stablemate Cazadero (winner of last summer’s Grade 3 Bashford Manor Stakes at Churchill Downs) favored at 9-to-5.
