Holy moley that was just a beautiful race, AP didnt even look tired and that boy knew that he is the new Triple Crown winner you could see it in the way he was looking around. Ears perked up the whole time when he crossed the finished line, he knew it

| Can't believe it!!! He handled that completely effortlessly. An amazing horse. AND, I got to witness him win the Preakness in person!!! We got front row seats at the Pimlico, I am over the moon that i truly can say I was there when history was made!!!!! Needless to say, he looks like he is just coasting in person to!!! |

Location: Montana | ThreeCorners - 2015-06-06 6:06 PM 2:26:65. Second fastest ever right behind Secretariat's 2:24 and he did it sooooooo smooth and easy!!
Actually, the 5th fastest Belmont ever, but still, that is amazing! So glad I got to see it, and have it be a horse I wanted to win (I liked him clear through the Derby and Preakness), he's a horse that overcame the odds. :) |

True... It's the 2nd fastest a triple crown winner has run the belmont since it was changed to 1 1/2 miles. |

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | 5 1/2 lengths. Secretariat stride 102 degrees American Pharoah 104 degrees. That was just out for a day sprint. He does carry a bit of that big red blood. So glad the breeding is coming back to producing amazing horses and his name is so fitting.Hot **** he did it! |

Location: North Dakota | I'M SO EXCITED!!!!! American Pharaoh was my first triple crown winner in my lifetime and I love him. I missed the race because my free trial of the online stream ran out just before the race started, then I had a patient at work, and caught the post race on TV so that sucked. My perfect TC moment was ruined but it's ok because that wonderful beast of a horse won! Can't wait for Breyer to come out with a model of him. I need a little sumthin sumthin to commemorate this momentous occasion!  |

Well then all the commentators on TV don't know what they are talking about, because they keep saying the second fastest time, right behind Secretariat. They probably don't have any one running the stats for them |

The 12th Triple Crown victor ran the sixth-fastest winning time in Belmont history, besting second-place Frosted by 5 1/2 lengths in a wire-to-wire win. He was still a little off Secretariat's legendary ride, but now is second among Triple Crown winners in Belmont finishing time since the race has been 1 1/2 miles.
