American Pharoah Is The Twelfth Horse To Win The Triple Crown

[Colonels_Wear_Blue]

An incredible run in the Belmont today! Led wire to wire!

...I've still got chills.

[DragonFire]

It's about time! I've always wanted to see one.

[2-3-Zone]

Me too^

 

I've been watching horse racing for a while now and this is the first TC of my lifetime. Very awesome!

[2-3-Zone]

BTW, I hit the tri. It won't pay much but it will make this even a sweeter moment to think bout on.

We ready to put to bed the theory about American Pharoah's slow run times? If I just read that right, AP just joined a pretty elite group of horses to run the Belmont in under 2:27.00.

Yep. No doubter on that Belmont run by AP. Second only to Secretariat.

I read somewhere that experts believe he has one of the most efficient strides in horse racing.

Really fantastic horse. The sloppy disaster that passed for the track at Pimlico left room for some doubt, but that run today was amazing. He set the pace and no one could approach him.

I just watched the first presentation of the Triple Crown trophy in my lifetime. Didn't even realize there was an actual trophy for it.

[Jim Schue]

I was somewhat ready to fault the way the rest of the field ran the race, but after seeing the final time I was able to put that doubt to bed.

 

Shed lots of tears on this one. I wasn't sure I'd live to see another.

The time was not second. Only second fastest Triple Crown time. 2:26:65 is fast but others have won the Belmont with faster times.

I get chills watching this race. Second fastest Belmont!

Take it back .....this was in the top 5 times but not second fastest.

Any chance you can give us the top 5, @doomer ?
