Travers emerging as the leading option for American Pharoah

Last updated: 8/4/15 7:27 PM

According to media reports and owner Ahmed Zayat's twitter feed, the August

29 Travers (G1) at Saratoga is the leading option for American Pharoah's (Pioneerof

the Nile) next start.

The sublime colt exits a thoroughly dominant victory in Sunday's Haskell

Invitational (G1) and several options remain for his next engagement, but Zayat

appeared to rule out the August 22 Pacific Classic (G1) and September 19

Pennsylvania Derby (G2) on Tuesday despite being adamant that the decision

remains in the hands of trainer Bob Baffert.

NYRA officials announced last week that the Travers purse, scheduled to be

$1.25 million, will be increased to $1.6 million if Triple Crown champion

American Pharoah competes.
