Perhaps a sloppy track will provide the necessary leverage, but anything at 10f or more seems non-ideal for American Pharoah.

I dont think their is a 3 yer old colt that can run 12f's fast never mind well

I guess the Belmont is anybody's race then.

How quickly the "super horse" rhetoric is abandoned, once a little clarity begins to set in.

I think AP is the best colt I have seen since post steroid era. I am sure some people are still fooling around with steroids and or using them properly when indicated to heal and treat various conditions but guessing the majority of the trainers that compete on biggest circuits have stopped PED steroid use save when inFlorida. I think he looks the part of a true champion and in a few days will see.

Post steroid era. Cute. I guess that explains the slow finishes in the Derby and Preakness.

However, I do thinks its endearing how you are laying the groundwork for the inevitable post-race excuses with these last couple of "sober Freddy" posts.

Exactly
