The 2024 DraftKings Travers Stakes is shaping up to be a terrific race with Belmont Stakes winner Dornoch, Longines Kentucky Oaks winner Thorpedo Anna, champion Fierceness, and Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve runner-up Sierra Leone expected to compete Aug. 24 at Saratoga Race Course.

The 1 ¼-mile, Grade 1 Travers, known as the “Mid-Summer Derby,” is the centerpiece of Saratoga’s summer meet and the most sought after prize for 3-year-old racehorses outside of the Triple Crown. It’s been won by some of the sport’s biggest stars since its inaugural running way back in 1864.

For this year's edition we've compiled a slideshow of the contenders with a profile image, a workout photo, and a racing photo when available to give readers a look at these outstanding athletes both when relaxing and competing.
