Ummm…I seriously told SO to stop talking about diamonds and rings! He’s telling me he loves me, and I actually said “SWEETIE, NOT NOW. This horse just won the Triple Crown!!!” :lol: I think he’s trying to propose. Lmao![/QUOTE]

He’s trying to be a good horse hubby and time the proposal to something REALLY memorable - but doesn’t quite get how horse people work??? At least he’s trying, sounds like a keeper!

Could someone put a muzzle on Bob Costas? I don’t care about the Stanley Cup.

My cat was annoyed too.

Thanks HorsesinHaiti, I am beaming now, but…poor guy. Lmao I didn’t realize it at first.

He was pricking his ears as they turned into the stretch!

Hurrah!

The American TB rises again.

What a horse!!!

Sports Center covering it now. Second fastest Belmont ever! Wow.

So Did He?? Did YOU say … (an answer besides "shut up honey, AP just won the TC!)

Yes!!! A Triple Crown Winner!!! Awesome race, he led wire to wire, fantastic time, and won by the 3rd largest margin!!!

Any replays up yet? I caught the call on the radio, but haven’t seen video yet!

Second fastest behind Secretariat and 3 largest margin.

I was in tears and that horse was cool as a cucumber galloping back after he blew out.

I think he got wetter doing the extra trip up and back in front of the grandstands but I thought great gesture to do that.

He did it!!!

Yes. Lol I know, I calmed down a little, now just have a huge smile on my face. This was a very memorable day. (I even overlooked the “I’m glad it won, sweetie”) IT?!?! IT?!??! Letting friends and family know, so he doesn’t know I’m on COTH too.:slight_smile:

Not quite - second fastest Belmont time for horses that have won the Triple Crown.

For all Belmont winners, he is among the top. Fastest since AP Indy in 1992.

You know, I went out of the house and made horse feed and came back in. I just didn’t want to jinx anything. but it’s up on Youtube already - haven’t watched any of them for a couple years. What a nice horse, and a race that reminded me of Secretariat - wire to wire and even pulling away a little at the end (well, a little bit like Secretatiat, lol)

I wonder how much the stud fee is going to be. Do you think this will be his last race? Or will they try to aim for the BC?

I have a love-hate relationship with racing, so I wasn’t going to watch, but at 6:45pm I kind of went “I have a feeling” and went to watch it with my mom. I’m so glad I did. What a moment to see live.

Found it! Wow!

American Pharoah is an amazing horse. He made all the races look effortless.
