"And here it is! The 37 year wait is over! American Pharaoh is FINALLY the one! American Pharaoh has won, the Triple Crown!!!" That call is just.....whew. Amazing.

[@beastmanyt4044]

I’m one of the lucky people who has lived to see a triple crown win after the long 37 year wait I’m glad I was able to witness history

[@dervolkstribun6240]

... and three years later the next one. Lucky times we live in.

[@augustybarratabulado4545]

I remember watching this by accident on live tv with my cousins, each one of us picked a horse to favor. Unknowingly I picked American Pharoah and witnessed greatness, it is when I started to have an interest with horses that led me to be a fan of Secretariat.

[@evandrocampos5180]

RUFFIAN também foi espetacular,mas secretariat foi o maior de todos os tempos

[@fredsanford336]

That call gives me chills. I was at the Derby. My first one ever and I was lucky enough to see a triple crown winner:)

[@novemelcalagui3174]

Never seen a horse racing video more exciting than secretariat races. Big red races gives you goosebumps.

1989 Sunday Silence & Easy Goer had some awesome races. The Preakness that year was as good as any race you'll ever see. They ding-donged back and forth for over a quarter mile.

[@rhondablack8079]

It’s so Ironic that one California Chromes owners said “In my lifetime I’ll never see another Triple Crown” and the very next year AP wins it. Then 3 years later Justify wins! AP will always be my favorite❤️

[@samanthas3322]

He’s my favorite too. I get chills every time I watch his races

[@desolatefox]

I'm almost crying rewatching this. I'm not that into racing anymore, I'm tired of them constantly bitching about how hard it is to win the TC. But this was so beautiful, and then Justify!

[@Koyoshinkai]

Australia is so lucky to have American Pharaoh on our shores, he is enjoying the sunshine & the Mares over here, lol 😊

[@RG-ja34sep]

Larry Collmus is a phenomenal race caller, I get serious goosebumps listening to the Belmont Stakes, absolutely legendary!!!!! 👏👏👏👏

[@williamzarate3402]

Undoubtedly that this american horse was born to be a triple crónica champ..we had to wait almost 4 decades to end the drought

[@Struwwel2]

He's a mudder. That's one way to know one when a horse has proven himself: he can adapt to bad track conditions and still win.

Loved every bit of this . In the belmont you can see Victor slightly urge him at the half .. and at the top of the stretch he was still standing up not urging yet

[@cruzdejesus7330]

Demasiado fuerte wooou

[@reynaldomacahilas3072]

I was at the satellite watching this race when after he won the triple crown some guy had the gaul to ask me comparisons if he was better than THE GREAT SECRETARIAT and i laughed at him telling him his time in the derby puts AP over 20 lengths behind SECRETARIAT and that he would be over 15 lengths behind SHAM who ran second and AP was over 10 lengths slower than SECRETARIAT in the Belmont so i guess there is no comparison but he is a good and was the best of his generation that year although he would of gotten beat by BEHOLDER in the Classic if she didnt come down with a fever

I kept on wondering why everyone is all of a sudden posting things of American pharaoh and then I searched up if he passed but it turned out it was his sire 😞

[@markfleetwood1099]

Secretariat was his great great great grandfather as he was to Justify :)

[@kamzalot3]

Mark Fleetwood seems accurate 😂 I’m surprised more horses are being less chestnut or secretariats color 💀

[@russe19642]

A cloud hangs over american horse racing with the doping issues,they need to clean up their act for everyone to believe in their integrity,you need that

[@gretafields4706]

I wonder why Frosted carries his head so oddly... high. He may not like that blinker \ mask they put on him. As soon as the leaders cross the finish line, he ducks his head down like he wants to stretch out and extend. Maybe he can see open track finally. Sonethibg is goingg on with this horse, but I don't know what. Did anybody ever check his eyesight???
