Pulling really hard for the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years.

American Pharoah, what a cool name for a horse, you go boy. Don't pull a Barboro and break your leg and many hearts.

Was watching him on the back straight. Looked like he was just out for a trot. Effortless. Knew it was over then. Kinda reminded me of Secretariat in how the jockey didn't have to do much other than hang on.

Zayat racing? Hmm...where's our old blowhard Zyclone?

Posted: **Sat Jun 06, 2015 11:12 pm**

That was very fucking cool, Rack American Pharoah! The crowd at Belmont was bonkers.

How ironically symmetrical.

He was the 12th horse with a shot at the Triple Crown since Affirmed in 1978.

Now he's the 12th Triple Crown winner.

He's no Secretariot, but it was sweet watching him pull away down the stretch.

Posted: **Sat Jun 06, 2015 11:55 pm**

Agreed.

Secretariat just flat out loved to run as fast as possible. He would have won those races with a 130 lb sack of potatoes on his back. I still remember him pouring on the steam at Belmont while 31 lengths out in front. Amazing thing to watch.

At least that's one horse that won't be appearing soon at BK.

You need to give yourself some credit and stop wasting your time here. Rather, take your incredible talent to the Comedy Central stage because they deserve your humor. You owe it to them.

There was a moment just as they were completing the last turn that one horse had closed to a length. Then AP hit the afterburner and it was over. A beautiful thing to witness it was.

Thank you. I'll consider it.

Have you considered getting your own tv show on the E! Network? They seem to be the channel of transgenders...

Pharoah is a front runner with early speed. There were not one but two horses on his tail. I was worried he'd run out of gas, but quite the contrary, he had the endurance to pull away at 1-1/2 mile Belmont, a notorious graveyard for early speed.

He had never run at Belmont, the first horse to win the Triple Crown who hadn't.

Yes, it was a beautiful thing and we witnessed an historic achievement today.

Now what? The owner is thinking of another race ? I am no horse racing expert---BUT isn't that risky? What if he gets injured? Wouldn't you just let him romp in a pasture with some mares for big $$$? I got a feeling he'd love that better than having a saddle put on him again and having to race with some midget whipping the crap out of him. Just one man's opinion.

This logic can be extended to pretty much any sporting event. What a bunch of over-paid cocksuckers do does not affect you in the least. Don't give a fukk about horse racing/chick b-ball/curling/bowling/beer league softball/et fukking cetera, good on you. Why did you waste 30 seconds of your life telling assholes you'll never meet about it on a message board?

And why did I waste a minute whining about your whining? :x

Wow. So one horse wins and now gets to jam his horse sized black (sup Moving Fail ??) cock in mares for the next 20 years. The rest of the field will be in French meat markets or Friskies cans in next 3 years.

I read that American Pharoah actually ran the last 1/4 mile faster than Secretariat did.

Yep, that right there is the stuff of legend. If people choose to give a fuck about is up to them, but we may never see another performance like that again.

I was pretty impressed when I read that too. But then again, American Pharoah was still in a race. Secretariat was already ahead by by about 1/2 a mile with 1/4 mile left.

Posted: **Tue Jun 09, 2015 12:56 am**

Point taken Mikey, but that's quite an exaggeration.

Still, Secretariat had the fastest overall time ever and that's not an exaggeration.

Pharoah did it when he had to against well rested horses. I was almost certain he'd fade in the stretch, was quite impressed when he didn't.

Not really. While betting is certainly prevalent in other sports, if you take it away from football, baseball, basketball, etc., people are still going to be fans of their teams, they're still going to go to the games, watch on TV, etc. Would horse racing even exist today without gambling? You take that element away from horse racing and you take away something that is interwoven into the culture and inherent interest of the "sport." When you go down to the track you bet on the ponies. That's just what you do. You aren't packing your family in the car and heading over with your Barbaro jerseys on. The general public doesn't give a shit about horse racing save for the two or three times a year we might be bothered to flip on the TV for a couple minutes...and that's only assuming there's a horse in contention for the Triple Crown.

What a bunch of over-paid cocksuckers do does not affect you in the least.

Who said it did? It's just a lot easier relating to actual human beings doing something voluntarily versus a creature that was bred for the sole purpose of running fast, which may or may not be completely miserable.

Why did you waste 30 seconds of your life telling assholes you'll never meet about it on a message board?

First of all, I can type a single sentence much faster than 30 seconds. Secondly, I've met at least three of you assholes and would have no problems telling any of you about it. And lastly...because that's what we fucking do here. :x

True enough , but if that's your measuring stick for what should or should not be discussed on this here message board, widen your parameters.

Personally, I think it was quite remarkable.

You have other pursuits, like trying to get trev and/or molly to spill the beans on which color thong or the size of dildo they prefer... not that there's anything wrong with that.

Marty wants to know as well.

Most of the people who found this bet errrr race exciting are the same people who find the America's Cup races exciting. They should all be put on a yacht off San Clemente Island & used for practice.

American Pharoah bettors leave behind $315,829 from Belmont Stakes

About 90,000 of the 94,000 $2 win tickets on American Pharoah bought at Belmont and Aqueduct went uncashed. I guess most people figured that the $3.50 value of the ticket was worth the cost of a cool memento.

Yeah, a 2-minute horse race is really comparable to an hour-long boat race. Moron.

Horse racing would still have its fans, were betting not involved. Granted, there wouldn't be many of them and no way in hell would they build cathedrals like churchill downs and belmont. But many millions of people did take a few minutes to watch it the other day. 99% of them did not have money on it.

Posted: **Tue Jun 09, 2015 6:45 pm**

'holic, if you had ever been to an opening day at Del Mar you would be hooked. Thousands of very pretty woman of all ages dressed in their best Classy/Slutty attire, the races are just a side show. Then there is the Ms. Cougar Contest with 40+ year old gals showing the young'ns how it is done.

I'm sure I have seen at least 95% of the triple crown races run in the last 45 years. I've never bet a nickel on any of them.
