American Pharoah gets 1st look at Belmont Park (The Associated Press)
Promptly at 8:45 a.m., American Pharoah got his first look at Belmont Park, the huge 1 1/2-mile oval on which he will attempt to give racing its first Triple Crown winner in 37 years. Look at him marching right out there,” trainer Bob Baffert said on a cool Wednesday morning, ”And look at his nice coat.” With exercise rider Jorge Alvarez aboard, American Pharoah jogged counterclockwise around the track before being walked off and taken back to his stable for a public sponge bath just outside his barn.
