Handicapper's Corner: 2022 Travers Stakes (G1)

 Handicapping the Travers Stakes

The $1.25 million Travers Stakes is the highlight of the Saratoga meet. Dubbed the “Midsummer Derby,” the 1 1/4 mile Grade 1 event attracts the leaders of the 3-year-old division.

Eight will line up in the 2022 Travers, including Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike, plus Preakness Stakes winner Early Voting, and the Haskell Stakes and Jim Dandy Stakes winners. 

 

The Travers is carded as race 11 of 13, with a post time of 5:44 PM EST.

The collective minds of the ThoroFan Handicappers offer their choices for first through third place and our best long shot bombs.

May the odds be ever in your favor!
