SARATOGA RACE COURSE -- The pinnacle of the 2012 Racing Season, the Travers Stakes, is set for Saturday August 25th.

Last year's winner was "Stay Thirsty."

We know this year we won't be seeing Belmont Champion Union Rags. That's because the colt suffered a ligament injury a couple weeks ago.

The "Midsummer Derby" for three-year-olds is the oldest major thoroughbred race in America. The purse is one million dollars.
