SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. » A strong field stacked with the nation’s top 3-year-olds is shaping up for the marquee race of the summer season - the Grade 1, $1.25 million Runhappy Travers, which will be run for the 149th time on Saturday, August 25 at Saratoga Race Course.

In addition to Kentucky Derby runner-up and Haskell winner Good Magic, the Runhappy Travers field is expected to include the first filly in nearly 40 years. When Wonder Gadot enters the starting gate, she will seek to become the first filly to win the Runhappy Travers since 1915. The filly is named for actress Gal Gadot, who played the role of superhero Wonder Woman in the recent hit movie.

Other probable starters include Jim Dandy winner Tenfold, Curlin winner Hofburg, Wood Memorial winner Vino Rosso, Belmont Stakes runner-up Gronkowski, and Haskell runner-up Bravazo.

Grandstand general admission tickets for Travers Day may be purchased in advance for $10. Grandstand admission will be $15 on the day of the event, pending availabili­ty. A limited number of clubhouse admission tickets are available for $25. Clubhouse upgrades will not be available on Travers Day.

Travers Day grandstand and clubhouse admission tickets may be purchased online at Ticketmast­er.com or in-person at the NYRA Box Office at Saratoga Race Course.

Gates open at 7 a.m. on Travers Day, with a special first post time of 11:35 a.m. All guests are subject to enhanced screening upon entering the grounds and will not be permitted to run once inside the property for their safety. This policy will be strictly enforced.
