Horse Racing From A Girls Eyes

 Trying to find words to describe what American Pharoah means to the sport of horse racing is like telling a kid to only pick one thing at the candy shop. He gave this sport a much needed shot in the arm, and gave even the most rigid handicappers goosebumps. The horse accomplished more than any horse probably ever will accomplish ever again.   American Pharoah has been a real gift to racing, and thanks to his generous connections for allowing him to prove to us just how incredibly great he was on Saturday Oct. 31st. American Pharoah is undoubtedly your 2015 Horse of the Year and Champion 3yr Old Male capping off an incredible career that saw him win such races as, the GR1 Del Mar Futurity, GR1 Frontrunner Stakes, GR1 Arkansas Derby, The Triple Crown, GR1 Haskell, and finally the Breeders Cup Classic to become racing's first Grand Slam winner. He proved to everyone that yes indeed the Triple Crown is possible you just have to be an extremely exceptional racehors...

Sprint 1. #8 Wild Dude Odds: 10-1 Very tough and consistent racehorse he'll be flying from the clouds on Saturday. 2. #10 Salutos Amigos Odds: 12-1 Was arguably the best sprinter in the country at the beginning of the year, but a trip to Dubai seems to have set him back a bit. He looks as if he is rounding back into form, and I expect a big performance out of him on Saturday. 3. #5 Runhappy Odds: 3-1 Freaky good three year old, but there is way to much pace in here for him to hold on. He is ultra freaky though and still will be in the top three regardless of pace. 4. #13 Private Zone Odds: 5/2 He drew outside Runhappy which really helps him. He's the top sprinter in the country hands down, but I feel he is better at seven furlongs to a mile. There is also way to much speed in the Sprint this year for a front runner to win. 5. #6 Ivan Fallunovalot Odds: 30-1  Has been racking up wins at lesser known tracks, but don't let that be a deterrent he is one hec...
