Late-blooming sophomore Scotland put himself into Travers (G1) consideration with a front-running victory in Friday’s $130,950 Curlin S. at Saratoga.

The Phipps Stable and Claiborne Farm have a promising older horse to look forward to for next year in Performer, who repelled a bid from the favored Tax to take Saturday's $203,200 Discovery (G3).

Jim Dandy (G2) winner Tax, unraced since a seventh in the Travers (G1), will return off a three-month freshening to face seven in Saturday’s $200,000 Discovery (G3).
