Travers time for American Pharoah on long trek by hoof, air (The Associated Press)

American Pharoah can run. By now, everyone knows American Pharoah glided through the Triple Crown – overcoming stormy weather, too – won the Haskell Invitational this month and is the 1-5 betting favorite for the $1.6 million Travers Stakes on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course. Upon arrival in Saratoga Springs, American Pharoah’s air miles are above the 18,000-mile mark, with several hundreds of miles chalked up in horse van rides from tracks to airports and back again.
