Shocked, surprised, pleased, blown away and a few other superlatives.
If I were Espinoza, I would have screamed more than "Holy Sh*t!" when I realized that I had won one of the most coveted and elusive trophies in all of sport. Congrats to American Pharoah and connections.
I maxed out my Xpressbet guarantee on AP, so I obviously won that. Got beat on all my exotics, but who cares. I loved the race. Never thought I'd see another TC in my lifetime.

I'll agree with you here. He runs the first 3/4 in 1:13 plus and no one is within a length of him????
Are they all cowards or just that slow???
Happy to see him win, I'll struggle pondering exactly what he beat

A bunch of midpackers and backrunners, one presser, one leader. Not exactly a setup for a hot pace, especially when the presser gave some noticeably negative signs during parade and warmup.
He's won races every which way, he's an excellent horse.

They go after him and they end up in the back. This wasn't Bailey and Solis. These guys were trying to win.

This certainly should provide a boost to the sport, hopefully the opportunity is not wasted. There are other owners I would have rather it happened for, but congrats nonetheless.

that hardly seems sufficient given how spectacularly wrong you were. you gave AP no shot whatsoever. funny how with all your experience that you told us about, a great horse was right under your nose and you didn't recognize it. don't feel bad though, many other experts didn't see it either.

In the spirit of certain smelly posts before the race:
WHAT A KICK IN THE NADS TO THAT OUTSIDER WHO MALTREATED HIS NAG BY DENYING IT LASIX.

add them all up.
never raced at Belmont.
trainer has bad record at Belmont.
Belmont is just different.
rider has bad record at belmont.
AP not bred for the distance, will be gasping in the stretch.
and on and on.
