The Colonial Turf Cup Stakes betting odds for 2013 were available from BetOnline here (under Racebook).
The race is held at Colonial Downs in New Kent, Virginia.
It is raced on 1-3/16 miles (9.5 furlongs) with a grass track.
The Colonial Turf Cup was formerly restricted to three-year-olds and features a $500,000 purse.
Air Support and Atigun were co-favorites at around 3/1 odds, respectively though Swift Warrior was coming in at 3.5/1 odds at Press time.
Atigun has yet to win a stakes race, finishing third in the 2012 Belmont Stakes. He also enjoyed a fourth place finish in the Travers Stakes and nearly won the Breeders’ Cup Marathon last fall.

Atigun drew post 1 and will be reunited Saturday with jockey Julien Leparoux. “We’re pleased Julien is back on him,” said Ken McPeek, who trains Atigun, a 4-year-old son of Istan, for the Shortleaf Stable. “He’s run well for Julien before.” Atigun only has three grass starts under his belt. The Colonial Turf Cup is a lead-up to the Virginia Derby, which was won by Air Supply in 2011. “He runs on about anything, but his two races down there were both really strong,” New York-based trainer Shug McGaughey said of Air Supply.
