American Patriot Canvas Print

American Patriot, a solid, well built muscular three year old bay colt with a beautiful white blaze. Photo was taken on the backstretch of historic Saratoga during the Summer meet of 2016. Trained by hall of fame trainer Todd Pletcher. American Patriot standing quietly in his stall as he looks to the right in a striking classic horse pose. My personal favorite photo of this majestic and historic landmark, known as Saratoga Race Course. Fans have been flocking to this landmark racetrack for over 150 years. Every Summer race fans and horse lovers have been counting down the days until the following season. They return to be part of the history, the charm and the excitement of the finest racing in the country. The best jockeys, trainers and owners compete for top honors. The highlight of every meet is the Travers Stakes or better known as the Summer Derby. Past winners winners include: Man O' War, Whirlaway, Native Dancer, Sword Dancer, Buckpasser, Damascus, Alydar, and Bernardini. The Travers is the oldest stakes race in America, first running was captured by a horse named "Kentucky" in 1864. Fleetphoto
