The Travers Stakes
The Travers Stakes (Midsummer Derby) is the highlight of the summer meet at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. Established in 1864, it is the oldest stakes race in the United States exclusively for three-year-old thoroughbreds, predating both the Preakness and the Kentucky Derby.
Run at the traditional distance of 1 1/4 miles on dirt, the Travers Stakes has earned a reputation for thrilling narratives and major betting upsets, reinforcing Saratoga’s reputation as the “Graveyard of Champions.” Noteworthy moments in its history include Jim Dandy’s astonishing 100-1 upset over Triple Crown winner Gallant Fox in 1930, Secretariat’s unexpected loss following his Triple Crown victory, and Whirlaway’s unique achievement of winning both the Triple Crown and the Travers Stakes. In more recent years, the race has witnessed remarkable performances, such as Sovereignty’s triumph in 2025, where he secured the Triple Crown components alongside a commanding 10-length victory in the Travers, and the undefeated Leading Change, who prevailed against a strong field to claim the title in 2026.
