Horse racing-American Pharoah set for Breeders’ Cup farewell (Reuters)
Horse racing fans will get the chance to watch Triple Crown winner American Pharoah end his stellar career at the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic next month, his owner said on Thursday after weighing up the colt’s options. Owner and breeder Ahmed Zayat had been leaning “60-40” to retiring the 3-year-old to stud after American Pharoah finished a shocking second in the Travers Stakes at Saratoga on Saturday. “I have decided to continue to race American Pharoah! The champ deserves another chance!” owner Zayat tweeted.
