    SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 2018 >MAGIC=, >WONDER= AND SARATOGA: GRAVEYARD OF CHAMPIONS OR BIRTHPLACE? By Christie DeBernardis A WHOLE LOT MORE IN SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.--Saratoga is arguably the most highly regarded racing venue in the country. Its prestige, history and THIS TRAVERS level of competition are just about unmatched. Part of that history, however, is a reputation as AThe Graveyard of Champions.@ One of the most famous examples of that is the mighty Secretariat=s loss to Onion in the 1973 Whitney S., which was a Grade II at the time. More recently, Triple Crown winner American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile)=s perfect sophomore season came to a halt at the Spa when Keen Ice (Curlin) surged past the champion late in the 2015 GI Travers S. However, an argument can be made that Saratoga has made as many champions as it has claimed, if not more. Cont. p4 IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Leading trainer Chad Brown talks Saratoga and STARS ALIGN FOR NUNTHORPE LONGSHOT his two Travers contenders in this TDN video Alpha Delphini provided trainer Bryan Smart with a career by Joe Bianca highlight in Friday’s G1 Nunthorpe S. while favoured Battaash checked in fourth.
