American Pharoah will run in the Breeders Cup Classic. He will retire after the race.
Should he prevail today - He will be the only horse ever to win the Triple Crown and the BC classic.
I have to say that was a fine race!
That filly poured it on.
I like a turf race.
We may not see this again for 30 years...or ever.
I was disappointed that Frosted didn't do better. He is kind of an odd looking fast horse. Looks like he is more appaloosa than thoroughbred.
But of course The escort for AP had interesting markings.
Thanks to you, I got to see the race.
Since you have an Amerian Pharoah ping list, here is something “ping worthy” .... his first foal arrived yesterday! As one commenter said “What a stunning little bundle...marked very nice...”
I used to breed Thoroughbreds & I would have been doing a real “happy dance” to see a gorgeous foal like this arrive!!

The foal is adorable :)
We are expecting snow starting tonight ..... between that & AP’s new foal, it reminds me of this .... my favorite Breeder’s Cup video .....

The singer is Curtis Stigers & the song is ‘Keep Me From The Cold’ if you’re ever interested in hearing the whole thing.
