America has really embraced him, dirt racing doesn't excite me one bit

#566322

In a workout this morning American Pharoah clocked 59 secs over 1000m and 1:38:40 over a mile.

Bob Baffert said afterwards "He's getting faster. I'm getting goosebumps."
Added Zayat in a tweet: "Gallop out(?) was insane."

AP will be going for the Haskell on 2nd Aug.

One of another three races has been pencilled-in between the Haskell and the Breeders' Cup Classic.
