American Pharoah’s on his way back to Del Mar

Triple Crown champion American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile) left Monmouth
Park the morning after his smashing victory in Sunday’s Haskell Invitational
(G1), bound for trainer Bob Baffert’s Del Mar base.

Exercise rider Jorge Alvarez commented on what makes American Pharoah
special.

In another Haskell postscript, trainer Rick Violette reports that
third-placer

Upstart (Flatter) is bound for the Travers (G1) August 29 at Saratoga.
