Triple Crown winner American Pharoah wins Haskell in return (The Associated Press)

American Pharoah turned on the speed in the stretch and easily won the $1.75 million Haskell Invitational on Sunday in his first race since sweeping the Triple Crown. With a record crowd of 60,983 cheering him at Monmouth Park, American Pharoah came out of the final turn with a clear lead and cruised to a 2 1/4-length victory without urging from jockey Victor Espinoza. American Pharoah won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes to become the first 12th Triple Crown winner, and first in 37 years.
