With 18,000 fans on hand for American Pharoah’s routine gallop Friday morning at Saratoga Race Course, imagine the buzz building up for the main even: the $1.6-million Travers Stakes on Saturday.

If you couldn’t make it to the Spa for the Travers, and with attendance capped at 50,000 there was more demand than supply for tickets, don’t fret. Eclipse Sportswire is right in the heart of the action at Saratoga to bring you up close and personal for one of the most anticipated racing days in recent memories.

We’ll be updating throughout the day, so check back for more fantastic images from Eclipse Sportswire.
