This Day in History: 2015-08-29

Known as the “Graveyard of Champions,” Saratoga Race Course again lived up to its reputation when Triple Crown winner American Pharoah came up three-quarters of a length short behind 16-1 longshot Keen Ice in the Grade 1, $1.6 million Travers. American Pharoah entered the 146th edition of the Travers having won eight straight races including the Triple Crown.
