American Pharoah arrives at Del Mar for training (The Associated Press)
American Pharoah arrived at Del Mar Race Track on Tuesday to begin training for next month’s Haskell Invitational in New Jersey. The first Triple Crown winner in 37 years even accomplished another rarity on his journey down from Santa Anita – avoiding summer traffic on the Los Angeles-area freeways. ”Well we did leave at 4 a.m.,” said Jimmy Barnes, trainer Bob Baffert’s chief assistant.
