The 2020 Runhappy Travers Stakes, a Grade 1 $1 million race held annually at Saratoga Racetrack, looks a little different this year. Notably: the race is being run three weeks earlier than usual, and is this year a part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby.
All eyes are on Tiz the Law, winner of the 2020 Belmont Stakes, and the field is full of Horse Country connections. Will you be tuning in Saturday? The race will be broadcast nationally on FOX; for more information on where to watch or listen, check out this list from our friends at America’s Best Racing.
