Earlier this morning at Churchill Downs, Triple Crown hopeful American Pharoah posted his final timed workout in advance of the June 6th Belmont Stakes (gr. I), breezing five furlongs in 1:00 1/5 with jockey Martin Garcia in the saddle.
With trainer Bob Baffert overseeing the exercise, the son of Pioneerof the Nile started off with fractions of :13, :25, :36 3/5, and :48 3/5 before galloping out strongly through six furlongs in 1:13, seven furlongs in 1:26, and a mile in an exceptional 1:39 3/5.
Additional details will be posted in today’s edition of The Turf Board’s “Belmont Stakes Countdown.”
