Earlier this morning, Triple Crown hopeful American Pharoah turned in what is expected to be the first of two pre-Belmont Stakes workouts, breezing a half-mile in :48 flat at Churchill Downs.
With Martin Garcia in the saddle and with trainer Bob Baffert looking on, American Pharoah traveled smoothly and easily through fractions of :12 1/5, :24 flat, and :35 4/5 before galloping out with enthusiasm, going five furlongs in 1:00 2/5 and six furlongs in 1:13 1/5.
Churchill Downs has posted a video of the workout on YouTube, and it can be viewed below:
