American Pharoah gets 1st work in since winning Preakness (The Associated Press)

Trainer Bob Baffert was pleased with Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner American Pharoah’s workout on Tuesday as he prepares for the Belmont Stakes and his attempt to become horse racing’s first Triple Crown winner since 1978. The colt breezed four furlongs in :48 at Churchill Downs after Baffert and American Pharoah’s regular exercise rider, jockey Martin Garcia, flew to Kentucky for the work. Jockey Victor Espinoza will again have the mount in the Belmont set for June 6.
