American Pharoah at Coolmore: One Year after Triple Crown Glory 

Secretariat's grave, he has been gone for a while now.

I think he lost closer to two thirds of his tail, not just half. I call Mr. Z Mr. Tail Thief.

Really ?! Hadn't heard about that ! Do they know who started that little felonious pastoral escapade ?

NO HORSE IS AS BEAUTIFUL AND MAJESTIC AS THE IMMORTAL SECRETARIAT,BUT HIS GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDSON IS LOOKING SO MUCH BETTER HES FILLED OUT JUST NICELY

why caps..

to bad his grandson was killled on the track

well, Breeder's Cup didn't start until 1984?

Secretariat would have almost certainly done it...

Machete Moonlight there’s no way to prove that

Nice comment, .. would you like to explore the idea about forex trading ?

He would have great but I still believe Justify would beat him in a race

Drew Rockwell. Nah American pharaoh would have won not by much but honestly there’s no way to tell

He’s very easygoing reportedly even after starting his stud career

He did, I was like ... I don't remember Bobby being that color xD

If he's anything like my mare, he probably did have a bath 5 minutes before shooting the video lol. At least he's not a mostly white paint!

made me laugh

And probably much bigger down there....

he looks like my wife!!!

STFU

😂😂

Yep! Muscles can cause the veins to pop, and Thoroughbreds hot up and get excited very easily, after exercise or getting extremely excited, sweating up etc the veins can be seen "bulging" through the skin. This happens to humans too but on a lesser scale!

He’s not the first horse to win a triple crown. First to win a Grand Slam

HarvardLaw22'. They never said he was the first horse to win the triple crown

You know Zenyatta has yet to produce a winner on the racetrack. ~Matt

@@HorseRacingNation true, breeding in theory only can produce a super horse, in practice, rare.

Most great racehorses don’t have the best offspring take secretariat for example he had about 500 kids and about 5 where good

Well, American Pharoah probably has the extra large heart gene. I think Secretariat is in his maternal line and Secretariat had an enlarged heart. It wasn't the only thing that made American Pharoah great, but it helped!

Q. Why doesn't the owner of Zenyatta take her to American Pharoah ?

@@MarkRobertCuthbert I've been saying this that would be straight royalty of a bloodline

The pedigree isn't too bad, but yeah, it's not really blue-blood. Then again, you don't need a blue-blood pedigree to be a great horse. I don't think Secretariat had a blue-blood pedigree, or Seattle Slew.

HorseyPlays his breed is thoroughbred :)

Jaci H. - just Google All Breed Pedigree and put in: Secretariat you will see he is a Grandson of the great Nasrullah (who was by NEARCO). Secretariat's Dam Sire was "Princequillo - One of four major large-hearted sires (also War Admiral, Blue Larkspur, and Mahmoud)".

Jaci Harris Secretariat was as blue-blooded as TBs get! I've seen the misconception on the Net before, that he wasn't particularly well bred; I'm not sure where it's coming from. Possibly because many of his progenitors raced in Europe, and Americans are not aware of how important they were as runners or stallions. His sire Bold Ruler, who was American bred and raced, was the most successful sire in North America of his time, as well as a Hall of Fame racehorse. Bold Ruler was a 3X U.S. champion, including 1957 Horse of the Year and U.S. sprint champion the following year. Until Northern Dancer came along, Bold Ruler probably had been the greatest North American based sire of the 20th century; he was top North American sire 8 times, the most of any stud in the 20th century. Bold Ruler's direct male line was, as noted by sainglain below, Nasrullah and Nearco, both great racehorses (in Europe) and both outstanding sires. Nasrullah was a champion 2-yr-old in the UK; undefeated Nearco, a 3X champion in Italy, ranks among Europe's all-time greats. Bold Ruler's dam, Miss Disco, was a stakes winning sprinter, and the daughter of Discovery, 2X champion U.S. handicap horse. A Hall of Famer runner, Discovery wasn't very successful siring racehorses, but he proved a terrific broodmare sire: he was damsire of Native Dancer as well as Bold Ruler. Secretariat's dam, Somethingroyal, did nothing on the track, but that's not unusual for successful broodmares. Producer of multiple stakes winning and stakes placed horses, she was already considered a blue hen (top class broodmare) before she gave birth to Secretariat at the relatively advanced age of 18. She was well-bred, being a daughter of Irish-bred, American raced Princequillo. Princequillo was a successful, though not Hall of Famer caliber, racehorse, winner of multiple important stakes, and is generally considered the best long distance U.S. runner other than Kelso (courtesy of the large heart, mentioned below); his own sire, Prince Rose, is often thought the best horse ever to have raced in Belgium. Even more pertinent to Somethingroyal's value as a broodmare, Princequillo was a great broodmare sire. In addition to Secretariat, Princequillo was damsire of European Horse of the Year Mill Reef, U.S. Horse of the Year Fort Marcy, and Secretariat's rival Sham. Somethingroyal's dam, Imperatrice, was a stakes winner and a producer of 6 stakes winners, a blue hen herself from a line of blue hens. So Secretariat came from an immensely powerful sire line, and an immensely powerful female family. Many of the males up close in his pedigrees were great runners *and* great sires; five of the seven mares in his first three generations are blue hens. His pedigree had both speed (Bold Ruler and Miss Disco) and stamina (Princequillo), and was strong on both grass and dirt. Ron Turcotte, btw, thought Secretariat, who was turf champion as a three-year-old, better on grass than on dirt, a scary thought.

AP is one of the leading sires, produced a breeder's cup winner for one...MSM did a whole show on him as a breeding sire.

Kevin Small And how far back are these horses in his pedigree?

2nd generation for Empire Maker (grandsire), 3rd for Unbridled.

Horses mostly

Chris Smith A lot of that is possibly AI(Artificial Insemination)

It's actually all live cover if the owners plan on registering their horses with the jockey club and having them run. At least that's what I was told when I toured WinStar last summer

IncrediblyKatie​ just realised I forgot the "Possibly" in my post. Anyways, that is true. All I knew is that back when AI was a huge thing and had little regulations people were using it to attempt to make the 'perfect racehorse' and that it is still used to test a studs sperm. Last I herd about it was that it was 'legalized' by the jokey club for long distance breeding, but I don't keep up with that mess...

please do not take the Lord's name in vane

laura jackson well goddam, Laura.

pillbillies?
