Tickets for Travers Day sold out two weeks in advance but if you’re unwilling to pay a stiff markup for a scalped ticket, you could catch a glimpse of all the runners in the $1.6 million Travers Stakes on Friday morning at Saratoga Race Course.

New York Racing Association President and CEO Chris Kay…

“Because at 8:45, all of those that will be competing in the  Travers, including Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, will be on the main track at 8:45.”

The favorite arrived in Albany from California on Wednesday afternoon and was transported to the Spa.
