Saratoga Highlight: Travers Stakes On August 27

Summer horse racing heats up with the $1 million Travers Stakes on August 27 at Saratoga Race Course in New York.

The Travers Stakes is America’s oldest stakes race first run in 1864. It was named so in honor of William Travers, who had the Saratoga race track built the year before.

After the Travers Stakes, we’re counting down to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships which consists of 15 Breeders Cup races with $26 million in purses to be held November 4-5 at historic Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby. Watch out for the Breeders’ Cup entries, post positions, odds and more!
