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

Oddly handled. It's Ashford Stud (Coolmore). I didn't think this was news as the basics of a deal were reportedly in place last year.

You can call me a hater, but Funny Cide and Smarty Jones Preakness was more impressive than AP. And we all know that the breeding caught up with both of them in The Belmont. Just like it will do AP in. If Materialty had a clean break, he would be going for The Crown, not AP, Let it rain all you want, Belmont is redemption day for Materiality

Breeding had nothing to do with it.

Funny Cide ran up against a much better horse that was more ready for the Belmont than he had been for the Derby.

SJ's Belmont was, in my eyes, his most impressive race.

I don't see AP's breeding keeping him from winning the Belmont.

Pedigree-wise, American Pharoah would have the worst bottom side both in terms of black type and distance capability in the past 30 years were he to win the Belmont Stakes.
