re: Why do they keep racing American Pharoah?

quote:

---

Because all but 1 of the triple crown winners raced after.

Because he still hasn't proven himself against older horses.

Because I think he is still getting better.

He also hasn't really broken any records or anything.

He is good for racing bc too many retire young from injury and/or fear of losing. We are breeding weaker horses because of this. Hell, he's only run 9 times.

If he beats older horses and wins the breeders cup he will get a better book of mares. At this point, if I had a mare, I'd much rather breed to his dad. Pharoah's dam side is somewhat weak and pioneer of the Nile has now produced a triple crown winner.

Do you know anything about or even follow racing? Because it's these casual fans having these stupid arguments that make me want to punch things. I freaking HATE the he won a triple crown so should be retired crew.
