SARATOGA SPRINGS - Jockey Manny Franco is honest about the fact he doesn't know his Travers Stakes mount all too well just yet.
But, it's only a matter of time.
He's also quick to mention what he does know about Leading Change, the undefeated Brad ****** trainee entered in Saturday's Travers, and what matters most as he prepares for the 10-furlong race.
"I don't know the horse, but I do my homework," Franco said of his mount in the $1.25 million race. "He's 2-for-2. It's a fresh horse going into the race."
The mechanics will be much the same as a typical day at work for Franco, who has amassed 54 wins this summer at Saratoga through Thursday's card.
