The 2025 Travers Stakes at Saratoga is Saturday, August 23rd.

The Grade 1 race for three-year-olds is the highlight of the Saratoga summer meet and has aptly been dubbed the Mid-Summer Derby.

Travers Day is a marathon of Grade 1 Stakes races (5) with purses totaling over 20 million dollars.

The first race of the day is scheduled for 11:40 with the Travers set to go at 6:00.
