DEL MAR, Calif. – American Pharoah is taking his talents to Saratoga.

A brilliant work on Sunday at Del Mar was what trainer Bob Baffert wanted to see in order to commit to the Travers Stakes on Saturday, and a brilliant work is what he got, as the Triple Crown winner flew through a seven-furlong drill in 1:23.20 while inhaling another trainer’s team who had broken off well in front of American Pharoah.

“That was a pretty incredible work,” Baffert said. “But he’s a pretty incredible horse.”
