Older than any of the American Triple Crown races, the Travers Stakes was first run in 1864, and is the third-ranked race for American three-year-olds according to international classifications, behind only the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. Many American Triple Crown winners have run the “Mid-Summer Derby”, but only one has won it, Whirlaway, in 1941.

Something I’ve been wondering about with Wonder Gadot trying the Travers. Has a filly ever won a Travers?

“Guess who? 👀
DORNOCH (Good Magic), winner of the GI Belmont Stakes and GI Haskell Stakes in his last two starts, returns today to take on seven others in the GI Travers Stakes at Saratoga! 🏆 The full-brother to last year’s GI Kentucky Derby winner Mage is trained by Danny Gargan and will be ridden by Luis Saez.
Dornoch is the current favorite, breaking from Post 7 🌟 Is he your pick?”
