I think the ther jockeys let him dictate the pace because they thought they could take him down the stretch. That horse just hit another gear and left them eating dust.

That was great.
I don't follow racing but it was clear from the start that AP was on another level the way he was running so smooth and powerfully.
Announcer nailed the finish.

He went to the front at the start and intimidated the field in the final 1/16th mile. A few times in racing history when a great horse runs he's no longer running against the horses on that given day. At the 1/16th pole it was Man O' War, War Admiral, Citation, Seattle Slew, Affirmed and Secretariat in front of him that he was attempting to pass. It was no longer a single horse race, it was a Champion running into history. Enjoy my friends, moments like this happen once in a generation.

Espinoza said he knew American Pharaoh was winning the race after the first turn. Watching that race was like getting drunk or something. Just absolutely surreal.

Very good horse and nice to see a triple crown winner after all these years. As great as he is he pales to the greatness of Secretariat. I seriously doubt any of us will ever see a horse like Big Red. To think he has the record for the Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont is pretty incredible. Still, Pharoah was not a chump who just beat a bad field. He had a very good time and dominated.

Is there a chance he could repeat?

There is no repeating in horse racing. The triple crown is only for 3 year olds.

In an era where sports media is an absolute joke and overhypes everything, the greatness of this moment cannot be overstated. This was truly a once in a generation type of event!
