Triple Crown 2018

[manning]

Actually, only 1 horse has ever achieved the "Grand Slam". American Pharoah. The Breeder's Cup Classic didn't exist back when the prior Triple Crown winners were around. It's a very new title.


Apparently, I am being a pedant horse racing history buff on the internet today.

You could be right this info was on the internet and in haste misread it also mad mistake of looking it up on iPhone (small screen)

I was channel surfing & saw the race was about to start, so I clicked it on just as they were loading the gates. Admittedly, I had no idea a triple crown was even in the mix this year, but what an exciting spectacle!

That was just amazing! SO very happy for Mike Smith! It was weird - I had every expectation that Justify wouldn't like the dry track, would get squeezed out at the break, didn't have the extra distance in him... until I saw him walk out. I have no idea what it was I saw, but that was it: I knew he had it, and I knew he knew he had it. I'm almost as in love with him as I was/am for Zenyatta! ♥

Justify came back to Louisville today. Our local station streamed his arrival at the airport.

I'm not really into horse racing but DH and DD love it. They were at Belmont Friday and Saturday. They've been going for years.
