About this event

The 157th running of the Grade 1, $1.25 million Travers is on Saturday, August 29, 2026!

The Travers Stakes is one of the oldest stakes races for three-year-old horses in the United States, and is the traditional centerpiece of the annual Saratoga summer meet. The race is named for William R. Travers, the first president of Saratoga, who won the inaugural running in 1864 with a horse named Kentucky. The Travers is considered to be one of the country's most prestigious races, and attracts many of the elite horses that contested the Triple Crown earlier in the year.
