One of the poor horses that ran earlier in the day broke his leg and had to be put down. This is always what I am thinking about while watching a race. Not that invested in who wins, just happy when it is done and everyone is okay.

I've gotten tired of all the hype every year. Will this be the year? Will this be the year? Glad it happened, but didn't care to watch. They are such short races. I'd rather record and skip past the boring commentary. I hope you've watched it....I turned it on about 10 minutes prior to the race starting... I'll just watch the recap on the evening news.

I ended up spoiling it for myself accidentally. I bet the race hadn't been over 30 seconds when people started posting it on FB. Oh, well, it's my fault! I had paused it to wait for my cousin and just mindlessly opened the app. I was still thrilled but it did take away my ability to have an honest reaction to the race. I always have to stay offline during sporting events. I like to record and ff through the commercials. So no email, facebook or message boards until after I've watched

This is the fourth horse I have seen win the Triple Crown in my lifetime. I remember watching the the other 3 win on TV with my dad. Secretariat holds a special place in my heart but the other 2, and now the magnificent American Pharoah are a part of the story of my life. I have a love affair with race horses - mainly from the period known as the best 12 years of racing - when I was in my prime and so was horse racing. I know it's controversial. I know many people don't like or support horse racing but it is part of who I am and I was in tears today when I got home from rehearsal and watched the race. Hail American Pharoah.

I am so excited! When Steve Cauthen and Affirmed won the last triple crown, I was 13 yrs old and a huge horse lover and had a huge crush on Steve Cauthen. I've been hoping for a winner every year since then.

I'm not even the least bit into horse racing and I've watched the video on You Tube at least 4 times. The power and beauty of American Pharoah in that last stretch for the win was stunning.

Happy for American Pharoah. I almost never watch horse racing, but this was fun. He's a beautiful horse.
