For the first time in 37 years, a Triple Crown winner is set to descend upon Saratoga Race Course.

After much deliberation, American Pharoah will make his highly anticipated return to the NYRA circuit in Saturday’s Grade 1 Travers, his first start in New York since winning the Grade 1 Belmont Stakes to cap his historic run.

The 1 ¼-mile Travers, worth $1.6 million if American Pharoah makes it to the starting gate and will be aired on NBC from 4-6 p.m. ET.
