I'd have given it to American Pharoah. Nobody cares about Tennis, but for about 10 awesome seconds, people cared about horse racing.
I agree. AP is the first horse in 37 years to wind the Triple Crown and I watched all three races.
He also won the Breeders cup classic. His earnings at racing is somewhat over 8 million dollars.
At stud his fee is $200,000 per mare. So you know he will earn far more at stud than he ever would have earned racing.
He's one awesome horse.
His sire is Pioneer of the Nile and his grandsire Empire Maker just got bought back from Japan. super line all around.
Tennis? No comparison.
From one horse lover to another....I thank you for the info.....I was privy to see AP win the Derby in Ky. this year and have tons of video of it which I will cherish always.
You are welcome. Nice to know I'm not the only horse nut around.
AP won the Derby no problem.
Then he won the Preakness in the pouring rain. Again no Problem.
He then went on to win that heartbreaker called the Belmont Stakes. Its the longest race any of them will ever run and he won it, again, no problem.
The Breeders Cup Classic, once all the speed horses scratched, was won by him no problem. The race set up perfectly for his style of running. Its called winning. LOL
He's one awesome horse and here's hoping he produces great race horses.
