American Pharoah... what's next for our new Champion? (The Haskell)

They might bring him out for something like the Pacific Classic or some second-tier Derby with a big purse, but ultimately if I were going to make presumptions I would say he is a "tired" horse and will be primed for a 4yo campaign, especially seeing how American Pharoah won't be around and Bayern almost certainly won't be showing up as a 5yo.

That sucks. I thought Dortmund he was pretty darn good

Agree with Freddy on AP not running at The Spa. Bob has said many times that the surface there isn't his favorite. More likely The Haskell (Baffert Invitational).

I'm hoping he comes back next year and defends his Triple Crown title.

They're making the Derby, Preakness & Belmont for 3 year olds and up next year?

I think he was being sarcastic because he is still a non-believer and lost out on a $4,600 P4 because he singled Frosted. Gets the price horses and leaves out the odds-on fav. Sounds like something I would do.

Nothing like cutting your nose off to spite your face.
I've been guilty of some cardinal stupidity too.
