p.s.: "He led nose to nose":

Make that: He led wire to wire. And finished six lengths ahead of his next challenger.

It was an amazing wonderful day for horse racing!!!

I am so very, very happy!!!

American Pharoah’s 2:26.65 looks like the 2nd fastest Triple Crown Belmont win, although it’s only the 6th fastest Belmont Stakes time.

The fastest is, of course, Secretariat in 2:24.
