American Pharoah with authority

[DonGuido]

Over what? It appear not much. Of course he had it all his way and Victor going for the lead on a sloppy track that AP loves was perfect. For a moment many were thinking he was coming back to the field entering the final turn but . . . taking a breather the others couldn't even catch him. And we all saw what happened next.

So the racing gods shined on AP today offering help from the dreaded inside post by bringing on the storm. He loved it and showed just how much he did.

Here we go again with a chance, with a chance. I would be very surprised if we see any (but a few) of his past rivals at the showing up for the Belmont. It may be a field of 5, who knows. That is 5 maybe that have a chance at all.
