American Pharoah has 1st date; breeding career is on (The Associated Press)

The first date is over for Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. An 11-year-old mare named Untouched Talent was the lucky first lady at Coolmore’s Ashford Stud in Versailles, Kentucky, on Friday morning as thoroughbred racing’s breeding season opened on a Valentine’s weekend. The mare that is in heat and ovulating is the dam of Bodemeister, a stallion I raced and own,” American Pharoah’s owner Ahmed Zayat said.
