When the Saratoga Racing Association named the Travers Stakes for William R. Travers (one of the founders of America’s oldest race course), they sought only to honor a man who’d made his mark on the sport of horse racing. Mr. Travers’ horse, Kentucky, won that first in 1864.
The fun thing about the Travers is like the Derby and Ascot, the women wear hats, some are lacy,some are flowery and many are comical and over the top.

So for August here are some lacy pretty socks cool enough to wear in August.
