| Truly a champion. He has given thoroughbred racing the shot in the arm that it has need for years. |

| SUPERHORSE! I'll make a bet it will be a long time (if ever) before we have another Triple Crown winner who wins the Breeders' Cup Classic in the same year. |

| I wonder if AP will miss his training schedule? He is young, energetic and looks like he loves to run. I know my horses get a bit stir crazy when they aren't being used much. I think they secretly enjoy getting out to do things outside their pasture. |

Not to be a damper on this but ... if I owned him; He's done. He is literally worth MILLIONS and when you have an investment worth that much, you don't turn it into a jumper or barrel horse or whatever else. He was specifically bred to do just what he did. He does not need to prove himself in any other arena or competition. |

Agree! This boy did what he had to do. Now to enjoy the life of luxury! I'm just thankful I got to see it- First and possibly only one in my lifetime! |
