Travers Stakes Set for Exciting Weekend

The Saratoga Race Course is set for a thrilling weekend featuring the Travers Stakes, dubbed the 'Midsummer Derby,' with a competitive field including standout filly Thorpedo Anna facing top colts like Dornoch, Fierceness, and Sierra Leone. Thorpedo Anna, who has dominated her division, aims to make history as the first filly to win the Travers since 1915. The $1.25 million race will be held on Saturday, August 24, alongside four other Grade 1 races. Trainers have adjusted schedules due to weather concerns, with final workouts planned for Saturday morning. Additionally, the weekend includes the Grade I Personal Ensign race on Friday, featuring a rematch between champion fillies Idiomatic and Randomized. This race serves as a precursor to the main event, ensuring a packed and exciting racing weekend at Saratoga.
