In 1962, Jaipur and Ridan both were leading candidates for the 3-year-old championship when they met at Saratoga in the 93rd Travers on Aug. 18. Bill Shoemaker rode Jaipur, and Manual Ycaza rode Ridan. • Almost from the outset, both horses were at each other's throats. For the entire 1 1/4 miles, the two were never more than a half-length apart for the lead, and for the last mile, their heads were bobbing side by side. • Someone had to win, and Jaipur prevailed by a nose only because his head was down and Ridan's was up at the wire. • Writing for The Jockey Club, historian William Rudy called the race an epic of the turf. • http://www.drf.com/news/travers-histo...
