Photo Essay - The American Pharoah story
White's 10 reasons why American Pharoah will win Belmont Stakes
Santa Anita morning-line maker Jon White -- who, in addition to Santa Anita's morning line, makes selections for the track's official program -- has come up with 10 reasons why he believes Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness S. (G1) victor American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile) will win Saturday's $1.5 million Belmont S. (G1) to complete the first Triple Crown sweep since Affirmed achieved the rare feat 37 years ago.
His 10 reasons are as follows:
- Of the seven horses entered against American Pharoah in the Belmont, he already has defeated each by 3 1/4 lengths or more.
- Two of his three main threats -- Firing Line (Line of David) and Dortmund (Big Brown), who finished two-three in the Kentucky Derby, are not running in the Belmont.
- He was the two-year-old male champion. Six of the last seven horses to sweep the Triple Crown had been voted two-year-old male champion. American Pharoah is the first two-year-old male champion to try for a Triple Crown in the Belmont since Spectacular Bid in 1979.
- His dominance. When Seattle Slew went into the Belmont with an eight-for-eight record, his average margin of victory was 4.71 lengths. American Pharoah goes into the Belmont with an average margin of victory of 5.04 lengths in his current six-race winning streak.
- He's six-for-six when ridden by Victor Espinoza.
- He's six-for-six when racing without blinkers.
- He's five-for-five on dirt.
- He's five-for-five when racing around two turns.
- His trainer, Bob Baffert, knows how to win the Belmont. Baffert sent out Point Given to win the 2001 Belmont by 12 1/4 lengths. Baffert also has had three horses run well enough in the Belmont to finish second -- Silver Charm (who came within three-quarters of a length of a Triple Crown sweep in 1997), Real Quiet (who came within a nose of a Triple Crown sweep in 1998) and Paynter (who lost by a neck in 2012).
- He can be rated if necessary. While most of American Pharoah's wins have come in front-running fashion, he showed in both the Rebel (G1) at Oaklawn Park and in the Kentucky Derby that he can sit off the early pace and win. His versatility in terms of being able to go wire-to-wire or rate kindly and come from off the pace helps make him all the more difficult to beat in the Belmont. Read more at Brisnet
