I think I'm starting to see what the AP detractor crowd is talking about.

I just realized something that maybe some of really tuned in horse people here already know but it wasn't evident to me until now. I'm slow at times
 but after watching several interviews, articles etc. with and on Bob Baffert . . . he not only trains this horse but he out and out LOVES THIS HORSE.And it hurts me to see he is playing it so professionally and controlled and . . . well I would love to here him just blurt it out and scream "Pharoah will kick some big time booty net race and will be LOVING IT all the way around the Belmont track". Bob truly loves this horse. But Bob is a freaking professional, which sucks sometimes. Other than that, Bob's a pretty good trainer too.

Possibly Winstar, more likely Coolmore. Perhaps the Dubai people.

If AP doesn't win the Belmont, it looks like he'll have at most 2-3 more chances to prove his once-in-a-blue-moon superiority:
""After his 3-year-old season that (retirement) decision would be made by Coolmore and myself, but I think he would retire then stand at Ashford," Zayat said May 20, shortly after announcing via Twitter that the 3-year-old son of Pioneerof the Nile would eventually retire to Ashford, the Versailles, Ky., nursery owned by Irish-based Coolmore. "I can't say definitely (when he will be retired), but horses become extremely valuable and expensive to keep with insurance and other costs and from a farm economics (viewpoint) it becomes economically silly not to retire him. Even (Triple Corwn winner) Secretariat retired after his 3-year-old season."" see http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...t-ashford-stud
