We Saw American Pharoah Win Yesterday

Tweet

My husband and I watched American Pharoah win the Breeders Cup yesterday If you don't know who American Pharoah is, he's the horse that won the triple crown of horse racing this year. The triple crown is a series of three famous races and he won all three. The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont stakes. The triple crown hadn't been won for over 30 years and only won 12 times in the history of Horse Racing. Earlier this summer on his only weekend off all summer my husband and I went to the Travers Stake in Saratoga. I grew up there so we shared time with family and the race track. We wanted to see this famous horse run. So did 50,000 other people who were there at Saratoga that day for that race. But while looking at the horses before the race I fell in love with another horse, a horse with long legs and put my bet on him. My horse 's name was Keen Ice. Keen Ice won and 50,000 people were disappointed to see American Pharoah lose. Everyone but me... Keen Ice was at the Breeders Cup yesterday but American Pharoah won. It was exciting to see just how good that horse is on the track. I'm glad he won because he is now retired and will spend the rest of his life on a beautiful green space and probably have a few children with hopes of winning the triple crown down the road. Sadly we had to watch the race on television but it was still an exciting race to watch. Did you see it? The photo is one I took at Saratoga. It's a shot of them getting ready to race. Horse #2 with Victor Espinoza in the turquoise shirt and helmet is American Pharoah. The winner of that race, Keen Ice is the green and yellow number 7.
