Triple Crown hopeful American Pharoah healthy, but tired (The Associated Press)
American Pharoah stood outside the Pimlico stakes barn, staring straight ahead at trainer Bob Baffert, who was holding his lead shank while two others were hosing off the white bandages around the colt’s legs. All was well on the Sunday morning after Kentucky Derby winner American Pharoah won the Preakness to set up a Triple Crown attempt in the Belmont Stakes on June 6. He’s a little tired, like he’s supposed to be after a race,” Baffert said a few minutes after he and jockey Victor Espinoza appeared on the ”The Today Show.” ”That’s usually him. No surprises.” Baffert said American Pharoah would be sent to Churchill Downs on Monday for a week of rest and relaxation.
