I hope you're right, but I disagree. Our sport needs superstars, and super stories, to crack the main page of ESPN, FOX, etc. When Joe Average sees that American Pharoah lost, he will pay even less attention to racing.
That said, here I go against my words by wishing American Pharoah retires. Unless it's the Breeders Cup, no more shipping cross-country.

There are no superstars anymore, just like in pro sports there are no more super teams.

Better horse? Even I'm not silly enough to say Keen Ice is a better horse. Better today, obviously...but not a better horse.

If you're gracious in defeat you say we lost to the better horse today w no excuses. It's called being a classy loser.

Exactly. Keen Ice ran the same race he's been running. He's in the dust again if Pharoah brings his usual game.
Prelim Beyer of 106 for Ice.

Victor wasn't whining. He was obviously disappointed, but telling it like it happened. He was extremely gracious to take time for the post-race interview. PACE said it best, Keen Ice was the better horse today.

I'm with you here. Whining about Lezcano - who actually rode to win and gave us a genuine horse race for once - was nauseating to listen to.

Congrats bud, you had it, I followed your line and took keen ice for a modest WPS and added him to my exacta box with Texas red and AP
Thought AP had it, credit to the frosted team who decided to make a real race of things.
