thoroughbred race horse

One more chance is in the offing to watch American Pharoah race. Reuters reports that American Pharoah will run his last race in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky on October 31, 2015, after which he will be retired to stud. Owner Ahmed Zayat was reported to be on the fence, but leaning toward retiring the Triple Crown winner after his surprising second-place finish in the Travers. After discussions with trainers, jockey, and family, however, Zayat decided that the horse deserves “another chance.” The welfare of the horse was a big factor in the decision, and, happily, American Pharoah is reported to have come out of his last race in great shape, despite a less than expected performance.
