CLUB REIGN (c, 2, Core Beliefs–Bag of Tricks, by Bernardini) kicked off DraftKings Travers Day at Saratoga strong, blitzing a maiden special weight field in the opener to become a new 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard'.A $475,000 OBS April grad, the 8-1 shot drew wide in this debut but flashed strong early speed from the gate to race two-wide up the backstretch outside of rail-drawn Roll Wave (Into Mischief) who broke a step slow but rushed up to stick a head in front.Happy to let that rival lead him into the far turn, Club Reign stalked off that one's flank, drew even as the pair hit the quarter pole and hit high gear once straightened away under jockey Edgard Zayas, opening up through the final sixteenth to win with authority.A tight photo for the minor placings went to Subjugation (Bee Jersey).Club Reign is the first racing venture for former Seahawks quarterback and Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson, who co-owns him under the name Three Brand Racing.
