American Pharoah winning the Triple Crown - TVG Style

TVG, America’s Horse Racing Television Network and TVG.com, the #1 legal wagering website in the US, had cameras behind the scenes on its employees during the running of the 2015 Belmont Stakes. Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner American Pharoah, trained by Hall of Fame conditioner Bob Baffert and ridden by jockey Victor Espinoza won the Belmont, capturing horse racing’s elusive Triple Crown. It was the first Triple Crown since the 1970’s when Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Affirmed won. People betting on American Pharoah with TVG had the opportunity of getting three times the price using TVG’s free App from the App Store. To watch American Pharoah and horseracing 7-days a week, watch TVG television network on DirecTV 602, Dish 399. To legally wager on horse racing go to TVG.com for details.

I watched this at Lonestar Park in Texas , I had never heard a place get so loud before. When they were coming down the stretch the building was literally shaking as soon as he crossed the wire tears started flowing I couldn't help it , such a beautiful moment I'll never forget.

Que emocionante

[@BigBlueMichigan71]

i was at belmont, right in front of the finish line....it was one of the greatest days in my life

[@rhondablack8079]

I wish I had been there❤

[@savagesweetheart90]

Who are the 15 idiots who dislike this??? This is historical, I was born in the 90s and I feared I would never see a Triple Crown winner, as soon as AP opened up by 3 lengths I was crying.

[@AB-lp5uq]

Who's the cute girl in the Egyptian costume please let me know

[@lisaachilli8581]

I was watching at OTB blubbering like a baby. People were looking at me like I had 3 heads! Sad to be them. They just don't get it.

[@lovetheponies]

I was at Santa Anita with other Pharoah Phans :-) when TVG personnel asked us if we wanted to join them in the booth situated outside the paddock area to watch the Belmont Stakes. We said "sure!". I'm in the group of people when you see Mike Joyce and trainer, Ron Ellis. It was a surreal moment to see our beloved Freak American Pharoah take the this race wire to wire! I was crying the whole 1 1/2 miles!!! Thank you, Victor, for an awesome Triple Crown ride!!!

[@dianastuart7693]

Goose bumps all over again! How AWESOME!!!

[@roxie2120]

When I was watching this, I was at a horse show, five minutes from the start of my class. I watched over my friend's shoulder while I was in the saddle because she had the race on her phone. When he won, we were so loud, everyone in the warm up ring was looking at us, then the show announcer announced the win, and everyone was so happy. It was such a great race.

[@cobb5223]

I cry everytime I watch this race

[@akgrl33]

This is my favorite!! I was watching in my works breakroom and cheering and scaring my coworkers!!

[@bew9832]

Love it. Brings tears every time.

[@cmarshall5055]

I thought it was just me...

[@Whyistomatoafruit]

Still remains one of the greatest days of my life I had waited so long for this. It was just indescribably amazing!!!

[@11matt11]

This might be the best thing to happen for the TVG in a long time. Maybe since the day it started. Great video guys, and thanks for sharing.

[@michaelawright09903243]

All I remember thinking was like "HOLY CRAP..HE GOING GET IT.. AMERICAN PHAROAH IS THE ONE I BEEN HOPING FOR!!!.."

[@docbogle3105]

THANK YOU TVG for posting this! I kept refreshing to see if you posted a reaction vid! The only thing that would have made it perfect for me was Ken Rudulph screaming "GET IT GET IT GET IT!" at the end. But watching the celebration of the passionate racing fans that make up TVG was truly amazing and a great way to cap off one of the most emotional weekends of my life. I truly believe this was one of the most incredible moments not just in racing history, but in all of sports history as well. I'm a grown man, but I'm not afraid to admit I wept like a baby as he pulled past Frosted and we all realized what was about to happen. I have vivid memories of watching Smarty Jones lead by 4 in the 2004 Belmont and hearing Tom Durkin roar "It's been 26 years, It's just one furlong away!" only to watch Birdstone overtake him at the 1/16 pole. At that point, I began to doubt this would ever happen in my lifetime. But today, the SPORT OF KINGS has a new PHARAOH! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TVG!

[@NYDarkBlue]

Doc Bogle Hahaha.. Watching that All I could think of was that Ken Rudolph "Get it Get it Get it" ..

[@greer8288]

I was there. People went nuts

[@kaylag.5807]

The woman in the Egyptian costume is totally me. We virtually reacted to American Pharoah's victory the same way!

[@TrevorToonArt]

You banged everyone in the room?

[@elvisfan61]

Saw this video this morning and thought it was excellent. Ron Ellis rocks!

[@joseposadas70]

congratulations victor Espinoza a great horse a great rider felicidades victor Espinoza un gran caballo un gran jinete

[@johnhouseholder4692]

Love Ron Ellis' trainer's perspective! "He's got his ears pricked."

[@SkyGateCreations]

I'm the only one in my house that's got a real interest in the sport, but my mom was home and decided to watch it with me because if it was going to happen, I wanted to watch it on the nice family TV in the living room. We were in disbelief until the stretch, thought they'd gone nuts keeping him in front the whole way, the noise didn't really start until Frosted started to give way and it became real...then all we could do was scream "OH MY GOD!" repeatedly like idiots lol. I ended up shaking so violently afterwards I could barely hold my phone, let alone text the news to my sister and my friend who weren't able to watch. XD

[@22stunt45]

Wow

[@SkyGateCreations]

***** Same, I mean it would be great to see it happen again and for the sport's sake I hope it does at some point of course, but happy just to have seen it, period.

[@cmr58]

Miss those ole TVG day's with Britt Eurton, Pauly LoDuca and Mike Joy and the happy hour..fond memories of those days. A buddy of mine and I happen to be in the barn area when Pharoah arrived back at Santa Anita. It was amazing to be in a crowd of a bunch of celebs and all of us were in awe as AP walked out of the trailer with a huge cheer as Bob Baffert welcomed him home

[@reallytooy3187]

Gets me every time, god bless AP and TVG

[@jnlione1]

Love the excitement by everyone involved with TVG... Just wish we could have saw Matt Carothers as AP was rolling down the stretch. . Nice job everyone. . And awesome coverage as well... thanks for posting this video..

[@km10nner]

Awesome American Pharoah, Awesom video

[@caitlinrose6838]

Lol idk why but whenever I watch American pharaoh get the triple crown I start crying haha

[@joedavila5592]

We saw this in our lifetime...amazing!!!

[@NYDarkBlue]

I was at Belmont and wow what a race.

[@redbrian3655]

2:51 we just witnessed Ron Ellis erupting in emotion........; -)

[@MrsLars]

I was born in a TC year (Citation). I remember the wins in the 70s, and I was starting to think I am going to check out without seeing another TC winner. Thank you American Pharoah and thank you Justify, and there is always next year.

[@migueltacos1610]

This video. Was. Fucking. Awesome!!! Thanks #tvg

[@countessratzass5408]

Wish my mom was still alive for APs triple crown win. We used to go Keeneland in the fall and act like idiots.

[@rhondablack8079]

I believe your Mom knows❤️

[@Freddylikefood]

Congratulations America! Despite the bad handicapping from TVG and the lack of respect to AP from many former CC followers and handicappers, finally a real champion after Sunday Silence!!! BTW, it is sad to see the people from TVG watching the TP from a back room. I understood they are a HR channel and now have the monopoly after buying HRTV and getting rid of talented people. Do not understand.

[@rhondablack8079]

Victor you did it! What about the HORSE?????

[@rhondablack8079]

Pharaoh was the only horse that ran all 3 races

[@nycot107]

I know the Triple Crown consists of three races, but the Belmont Stakes reminds me of a horse race here in Australia called the Melbourne Cup, which is also our biggest horse race. It is referred to as "The race that stops a nation" because, just like the Belmont, everyone stops what they are doing to watch it, no matter if they are at work or home. I'm not sure if people in America get a public holiday for any of the Triple Crown races, but we get one for the Melbourne Cup

[@thomashong2938]

Great video!! I watch it over and over again. So…what happened in 2018 when Justify won the Triple Crown? What was the reaction at TVG during the race? Was it similar to 2015? Is there a TVG All Access video of that race?

[@jamesdep8128]

TVG that's right baby

[@karlakrakes7333]

Ah, the days when Ron Ellis commented!!

[@rafaquiroz9603]
