His dam traces to the exceptional broodmare Hildene, a foundation mare for Meadow Stable whose descendants include Hill Prince, First Landing and Cicada.

He took the lead on the final turn and held under steady urging to win by 1+1⁄2 lengths in a time of 1:38.41 on a fast track.

Early Voting, the 13-10 favorite, faced ten other three-year-olds on a clear day with a track that was considered muddy.

Jockey Jose Ortiz had Early Voting breaking from the gate quickly and established a two-length lead after a half-mile in :48.04.

Those horses need time physically or mentally, and it can really cost a good part of your three-year-old year if you swing and miss.

He rated a couple of lengths off the early pace set by Armagnac, then took the lead near the head of the stretch.

He drifted towards the middle of the track while opening a 3+1⁄2 length lead in mid-stretch, then shifted back to the rail while holding off Epicenter.

Brown commented, "To win this race on Seth's birthday in Baltimore where he grew up and to be able to deliver a gift like that is hard to explain.

Early Voting went to the early lead over Zandon along the rail came under coaxing nearing the quarter pole and spun just off the inside into upper stretch loosely between foes, dug in under a drive under threat from a trio and was collared at the eighth pole, then weakened in the late stage and finished last.

[15] The Travers Stakes on August 27 attracted a very strong field, including the top three finishers in the Kentucky Derby (Rich Strike, Epicenter and Zandon), Preakness winner Early Voting and Cyberknife, who had won the Haskell in his last start.

In October of 2023, it was announced that Early Voting had been removed from stud duties, as he was unable to breed due to anejaculatory syndrome; inability to ejaculate.
