He's a superb looking stallion with the most stunning athletic physique. I'm not a fan of racing & the way the horses have to live but he looks outstanding.
I don't much about horses but i still remember watching Secretariat and spectacular bid and of course Seattle Slew. AP is a race away to being a triple crown winner.Let's hope he gets it.
You are right the thing is I saw this horses on tv and believe you me I don't remember affirmed maybe because I was not into horse racing then. I guess I stopped after seattle slew. but 37 yrs later after affirmed American Pharoah won TC only to become the 12th horse to have won.
I'm not a big sports fan either. I don't watch much sports at all. I do watch the TC every year though. I do remember Affirmed though. He had the heart of a lion.
I found it! Kathy, the music is called "Bird Creek" by "Hooky with Sloane" just click the link given and it is in the list under the featured tab where you can download it. Yay! Happy listening!
Diana Davis Secretariat is actually his Great-great-great grandfather. It goes like this: AP ---> Littleprincessemma (mom) ---> Yankee Gentleman (dad) ---> Storm Cat (dad) ---> Terlingua (mom) ---> Secretariat (dad)
You call that bath he is getting pampering...they have that chain across his gums and he is really bothered by it, he is a quiet horse I doubt he needs that chain...a woman groom would not give him such a insensitive bath....anyway, I guess they figure these horses are worth so much money that is why they have em all chained up to lead ( sure there are some stud colts who need it but this guy is quiet - anyway, all just how race horses are treated, not much like horses and is very hard on em).
ts to A.P. - I was at Belmont in 04' when Smarty Jones' Jockey ruined his chances for what should have been a Triple Crown..., Espinoza ran a BEAUTIFUL RACE!!!
james thomas Same as what happened with Spectacular Bid with dumbass Ronnie Franklin riding him. If he would have sat still on him and saved him for another 1/16th of a mile then he wouldn't have faded so badly the last 1/8th and lost!
It’s getting off all the dirt and dust, also to help him relax after a long trip to have something familiar. And yes, especially with dark coats, there is hidden dust and dirt.
That’s a safety measure. The horse (even before he won the Triple Crown), is worth millions of dollars, especially for stud. If he spooked and tried to bolt or reared (which can happen with any horse, let alone with a racehorse jazzed to run) the chain would help him from getting hurt or someone else, especially the crowd. This isn’t a backyard pony, and they have to take precautions about him.
American Pharoah has been my idol for a while now! You rule AP! 🏇
What an athlete. What a stud!
If this beast can't pull it off, I'm really not sure if it's gunna be possible anymore.. But I believe he will do it and make history..
Great race. My bff put me on to loving this sport. Thanks Donyale.
He's a superb looking stallion with the most stunning athletic physique. I'm not a fan of racing & the way the horses have to live but he looks outstanding.
That's a athlete right there
TRIPLE CROWN WINNER! Thanks for inspiring a nation! God keep you safe and healthy.

Handorgeous Poor Affirmed. He seems to be the forgotten TC winner.

+Jayne Mansfield You're right, it was sort of "Again? Ho hum." when he won.

They treat him like royalty he is a beautiful horse and if you like him that much get the Breyer
absolutely special...
I am Praying that American Pharaoh wins the Triple Crown. He reminds me alot of Secretariat!!!!!
Third time I've picked a triple crown contender. He better win. He's Secretariat strong.

LETS GO AP YOU MADE US ALL PROUD!!!!
awww he deserves all the pampering
You call that bath he is getting pampering...they have that chain across his gums and he is really bothered by it, he is a quiet horse I doubt he needs that chain...a woman groom would not give him such a insensitive bath....anyway, I guess they figure these horses are worth so much money that is why they have em all chained up to lead ( sure there are some stud colts who need it but this guy is quiet - anyway, all just how race horses are treated, not much like horses and is very hard on em).

Interesting bit of information. American Pharoah's 3 times removed grandsire is Secretariat.
No wonder he won. He has wonderhorse lineage
Anyone know the music that is played with this video? Been trying to find it.
I've been wanting to know too. I just have this book marked for the music..
@@kathyrobertson7229 hello. I finally found this music a few years ago. It's called "Bird Creek" by "Hooky with Sloan". Enjoy!
Thank you very much for posting that! But which song is it in the list?
I like this music! What is it and here can I get it, please let me know😊
Kathy Robertson Have you found what music is played in this video? I am looking for it. Thanks.
Allen TurnerI'm still looking, too.
Kathy Robertson ok...if you find it, would you please post it?
Allen Turner ok😊
Kathy Robertson It's actually just stock music from RUclips's audio library. Catchy, though! ruclips.net/user/audiolibrarymusic
I REALLY hope he wins the Triple Crown, but I doubt it. If he does, I'm going to have the biggest party ever.
When's the party ;)
Tonight, my house C Carr
Sydnohorse 00 I personally chugged down 3 icy cold Coronas in honor of American Pharaoh and Espinoza
How was the party?!

It's sad that they retired him, but what can we do.
I always wonder why, they didn't ship him to NY. All that driving back/forth in my opinion cost him the Travers.
He is Beautiful and yes related to Secretariat, but he will never beat Secretariats times.
julie hertz he is not related to him
I see this horse along with Justify and wonder if both were juiced during their triple crown run?
I think he will the odds were against him but I think you should figure it out and going to take it all the way come on baby come on
Make sure Zito's horse is not juice up!
Suprb horse
American PHAROAH is SECRETARIATS Great Great Great Grandson, he's good but not as FAST AS SECRETARIAT. HE IS BEAUTIFUL JUST LIKE SECRETARIAT.
+julie hertz
And he has the same type of wonderful disposition!

I don't understand the washing of a horse that didn't look dirty...
It’s getting off all the dirt and dust, also to help him relax after a long trip to have something familiar. And yes, especially with dark coats, there is hidden dust and dirt.
he looks visibly thinner

He's so sweet just standing there, being bathed. Take the "stud chain" out of his mouth please. He doesn't need it.
ummm y he trying to bite the rope?
That’s a safety measure. The horse (even before he won the Triple Crown), is worth millions of dollars, especially for stud.
If he spooked and tried to bolt or reared (which can happen with any horse, let alone with a racehorse jazzed to run) the chain would help him from getting hurt or someone else, especially the crowd.

Poor horse.
