Nice. I figured it would be good from what collmus gave out for 2 4 and 6f. He just got in stride and did his thing.
Watched it on my phone, so couldn't see the times but when he gave the six f time, I told tony 'he's clicking off twelves'. He said......what? Lol

Cheered him home with my 2yo son in my lap. At 33, I didn't have a TC winner in my lifetime. This bugger is 2 and gets one! Hahaha what a glorious day. Love him or hate him you have to respect him for this moment.

How can anyone hate a horse?

Well, other than birdstone on a certain Saturday in June....

How trilling!! What a wonderful thing to have happen for horse racing. I swear, I feel like the world is different. I've passionately followed this sport for the past 57 years and I'm so friggin happy.

Yeah, materiality certainly made a strong case for upstart and the great Florida derby.

It was incredible to be there. Watched from the 4th floor North Shore Terrace. Everyone filed out to the seats to watch. No one was sitting. Every aisle was full.

He looked fab in the post parade and the people let him know it. Everytime LC said "American Pharaoh" during the race call, the crowd noise would amp up higher. It looked like he started pulling away on the far turn and the fans started going ballistic. Wall of noise for 3 straight minutes afterwards. People high fiving. Hugging strangers.

Met one guy who started with a $250 win bet on AP in the Derby and let the winnings ride throughout the TC. Walked away with some good coin.

I was there mainly with foreign visitors and they were treated to a great day of racing. Bill Clinton stopped by the terrace at one point. Made them feel like VIPs.

Didn't cash my $2 win ticket. I'll keep it as a memory.

Cheers,
O

I am so angry at myself for turning down the chance to buy tickets in March.
That being said I am so happy to see a Triple Crown winner and cash a winning exacta and triple wager too. I was jumping up and down and screaming TRIPLE CROWN from the 3/16th pole to the finish. I am thrilled I was able to watch this with my son. This was an awesome afternon

I'm more inclined to believe it has a whole lot more to do with the fact that, combined, horses coming out of the Florida Derby are now 0 for 32.
