For more information, please visit www.breederscup.com. The Breeders’ Cup will be televised live on NBC and NBCSN. You can follow all the contenders’ activity leading up to the Breeders’ Cup with Equibase’s free “Road to the Breeders’ Cup” Virtual Stable Virtual Stable notification service. Triple Crown Winner American Pharoah’s Presence in the Travers, Four Challenge Races, Anchor Star-Studded Saratoga Weekend Only in Saratoga. As if Saturday’s four grade I Breeders’ Cup Challenge races weren’t enough, the decision by trainer Bob Baffert and owner Ahmad Zayat that Triple Crown winner AMERICAN PHAROAH will come for the Travers (G1) bolstered what was already shaping up as the summer’s most definitive racing day. The “Mid Summer Derby” will anchor a stakes card that will see the Sword Dancer (Longines Turf), Personal Ensign (Distaff), Forego (TwinSpires Sprint) and Ballerina (Filly & Mare Sprint) offer guaranteed starting spots in the Breeders’ Cup. The Sword Dancer and the Travers will be televised live on NBC as a part of the “Summer at Saratoga, Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series – Presented by Lane’s End Farm” from 4-6 p.m. ET. Run at 1 ¼ miles, the $1.6 million Travers has long been a summer stop for the most talented 3-year-olds in training, but the bar has obviously been set higher with the presence of American Pharoah, racing’s first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed turned the trick in 1978.
