SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- Triple Crown winner American Pharoah is the overwhelming 1-5 favorite in a 10-horse field entered for Saturday's Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course.
American Pharoah will start from the No. 2 gate in an attempt to become only the second Triple Crown winner to go on to win the prestigious Travers. Whirlaway won the 1941 Travers after sweeping the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes.
At Tuesday night's post-position draw, Frosted was made the second choice at 6-1 and Texas Red the third choice at 8-1.
The field from the rail out is Upstart, American Pharoah, Mid Ocean, Texas Red, Frammento, Frosted, Keen Ice, Tale of Verve, King of New York and Smart Transition.
American Pharoah has won eight straight races.
