Description

Framed and Autographed ....Triple Crown winner  "American Pharoah" at Churchill Downs with Jockey Victor Espinoza 


Size: 16 X 20


American Pharoah is an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the American Triple Crown and the Breeders' Cup Classic in 2015. In winning all four races, he became the first horse to win the "Grand Slam" of American horse racing. He was voted the 2015 Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year and the 2015 Eclipse Award Champion three-year-old.


American Pharoah was bred and owned throughout his racing career by Ahmed Zayat of Zayat Stables, trained by Bob Baffert, and ridden in most of his races by Victor Espinoza.


American Pharoah began his 2015 campaign with wins in the Rebel Stakes and Arkansas Derby and went on to win the 2015 Kentucky Derby and 2015 Preakness Stakes. He won the Triple Crown in a wire-to-wire victory at the 2015 Belmont Stakes, becoming the first American Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978 and the 12th in history. His winning time was the second-fastest for a Triple Crown winner and his closing quarter-mile time of 24.32 was faster than Secretariat's.  


In the United States, the three races that make up the Triple Crown are:



  1. Kentucky Derby, run over the 1 14-mile (2.0 km) dirt track (Kentucky)

  2. Preakness Stakes, run over the 1 316-mile (1.9 km) dirt track (Maryland)

  3. Belmont Stakes, run over the 1 12-mile (2.4 km) dirt track (New York)
