My favorite thing about Saratoga: Seeing all the champions and future champions year after year.

Unwilling to have his perfect 2020 record marred with a less-than-perfect finish, Bruce Lunsford's Art Collector led at every point of call Aug. 9 in the $193,750 Runhappy Ellis Park Derby at Ellis Park to tally his fourth consecutive win.

It took 17 long years of waiting, but the moment was everything Jack Knowlton expected.

Maybe it was even better.

As Knowlton held a box with a trophy in reward for Tiz the Law’s decisive victory in the $1 million Runhappy Travers Stakes, the founder and operational manager of the group that owns the son of Constitution, had a smile that even a facial mask could not hide.

The $1 million, Grade 1 Runhappy Travers Stakes is undoubtedly the biggest race on a star-studded card at Saratoga Race Course on Saturday, Aug. 8.

For the longest time, the Runhappy Travers Stakes has been considered a Derby, specifically the “Mid-Summer Derby.” Yet in a world battling COVID-19, the 2020 Travers is actually more like the first Saturday in May Kentucky Derby than the actual Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve in September.
