The $1.25 million, Grade 1 Travers Stakes at Saratoga dates all the way back to 1864, which means it’s older than the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. The historic race annually attracts some of the best 3-year-old Thoroughbreds in the country and is practically an extra leg of the Triple Crown, so you don’t want to miss Saturday’s renewal of the 1 1/4-mile “Mid-Summer Derby.”
