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

[TouchOfGrey]

Has it been confirmed that he is indeed going to the Haskel?

when the Zayats were interviewed on Saturday at CD the whole family expressed a desire to go to MTH for the Haskell. It's their "home track".

After listening to Mr Zayat and all his comments
I was believing they would race him again. After watching
NBC's Kenny Rice interviewing the family and listening to
Mr Zayat I think American Pharoah will get some type of
injury and never race again. Hope I'm wrong though

His word is good. Haskell it is. I think he gets it. For the good of the country,hossracing, and duty and humanity

Don't forget that Zayat is not averse to making deals nor is Baffert shy about accepting appearance fees. Monmouth obviously is the target, but perhaps the lure of a more lucrative package, weaker competition, and more time off from the Belmont Stakes will win out. Canterbury is making a play, and it wouldn't be a shock to see an established second-tier Derby (i.e. West Virginia, Pennsylvania, or Indiana) follow suit. Certainly, the owners of past Triple Crown winners have been successfully hooked by such opportunistic one-offs (see Secretariat, see Seattle Slew).

Waiting for a later race would also cut down hope of a Travers start or a race against older horses before the BC Classic.

who would pass up appearance fees if it's a sensible spot? and if anything, they might say no anyhow, but it might make the track they're shooting for pony up some bucks to match the offer.
get it while you can.
unless you're cal chromes owner. then you're satan if you do it.

I hope so. I just found it odd during the interview he said
"as long as he's healthy" about 3 times.
I was thinking Freudian slip

From what I hear as long as it has nothing to do with his money his word is good.
