Location: 31 lengths farms | After having my heart torn out again and again watching reruns last night of the Belmont from the past on HGTV I think it was, I'm skipping watching the real thing. How can your heart still hurt watching Smarty Jones lose but yet it did....On the flip side I still screamed my head off watching Secretariat too, LOL!!! |

Location: NC | Hopefully he wins. But i can say after last year and a group of friends and i going that i will never go again! lol its alot nicer, easier and more comfortable to watch from home. We were lucky to sneak up to the front. Also we got CC shirts on the road in for $20 from the guys walking up and down the road... while sitting in bumper to bumper traffic. |

| There's only 8 horses in the field. I think, especially with a sloppy track, that IF (there's always that BIG if), AP gets a good trip the Triple Crown is his. I really, really hope it happens. I get tired of being disappointed too and he's such a nice, talented and confident horse; it would be such a pleasure to see him take that special place in history.

Location: Somewhere between S@%&# stirrer and Saint | If you have noticed Bob Baffert has been very inconsistent in winning many of the major races like he did in the past. He always has the top of the line horses. If and when American Pharaoh wins the triple crown there will be all kinds of controversy about why American Pharaoh has so much muscle compared to the other horses. JMHO. |

He doesn't have the number of wins, but earnings he's been in the top 3 since 2009. That means he's winning big ones.

Location: Mountains of VA | If AP gets in a bind, is struggling or feels off........he will get pulled up. That horse is worth much more as a sound breeding stallion even if he doesn't win the Belmont/Triple Crown. He will be worth nothing if he breaks down, well maybe a big fat insurance check. |

His breeding rights have already been sold so I feel this is very true, but they do get a higher premium if he wins the Triple Crown. I am an optimist, glass 1/2 full kind of girl. I hope he wins and does it brilliantly. As I mentioned before, America could sure use the positives right now. |

With breeding rights already sold, that is all the more reason to just "trot" him around the track. It's all about the $$$$. Nobody involved will make any money if AP breaks down.

I'm sure the bonus is worth it to go for a win. I guess I feel that the jocks should all do what is in the best interest of the horse, if they bobble or don't feel right, they should be pulled up regardless of what is in the line. But I'm not naive enough to believe they all do that. |

Location: Washington | Because I am a huge fan of T/B racing I am pulling for AP for the Triple Crown win. BUT this distance could be more than he can hold onto, but I am hoping his ability to win will make him fight for it and we know he has the class....Materiality should love the distance and he is coming in rested, he is also one to watch. IMHO
May they all come home safely AMEN! |

| The reason why he has so much muscle mass is because he has been on my product T.H.E. Muscle Mass for at least 18 month's and he has been tested after each race and is clean because my products are ALL LEGAL just like California Chrome and hundreds of other horses that have won Grade One races on T.H.E Muscle Mass and have NEVER tested positive.
Go American Pharaoh and Good luck Bob Bafford
