Travers Silks II (2025)

Full Circle at 40! Now, for the 40th time, I get to say how delighted, grateful, and honored I am to announce the new Travers Stakes poster - 2025! The earliest introduction ever.  Paula and I decided years ago that the 40th poster should bookend the Travers series. It should bring the poster collection and selected winners of the incomparable Travers full circle from 1986 Travers Silks I to 2025 Travers Silks II! We are already working on next year’s poster - so, no worries!   What a ride it has been. Thank you!  In 40 years so much has changed. But what never changes is fabulous summer days at Saratoga full of the best thoroughbreds, jockeys, and trainers in the world. All in the shade of the great trees and close enough to touch!  Here is the list, with grateful thanks to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame!  Travers 2025 - Travers Silks II (top to bottom, left to right)  Marylou WhitneyBirdstone (2004): Trained by Nick Zito, ridden by Edgar Prado Winchell ThoroughbredsE
