American Pharoah wins Breeders' Cup Classic by 6½ lengths in last race!
Triple Crown champion American Pharoah took charge out of the gate, winning the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic by 6½ lengths Saturday in his final race before retirement.
The 3-year-old colt ran 1¼ miles in a track-record 2:00.07 as the sentimental 3-5 favorite among the crowd of 50,155 at Keeneland. Fans stood 20-deep all along the rail, cheering and snapping cellphone photos of the superstar horse and jockey Victor Espinoza.
Except American Pharoah didn't hear them. He wears ear plugs to muffle any sounds that might startle him.
"This was for Pharoah," trainer Bob Baffert said. "We wanted him to go out the champion he is."
