"A Triple Crown winner. A Breeders Cup winner. A horse of a lifetime!" Special. Very special.
Not the horse of my lifetime. I was alive in 1973 and saw Secretariat, the real horse of my lifetime.
@@bunpeishiratori5849he said “A horse of a lifetime.” You can appreciate both…
@@bunpeishiratori5849Anda sudah tua dan doaku sehat selalu 😊
@@bunpeishiratori5849awesome that you got to see one again after such a long gap!
2:13!!!
This horse will be remembered for generations to come. It was a blessing to watch him racing.
Amen to that my friend
Amen to that.. I get chills watching his races.
triple crown and grand slam amen!!!
Drew A Rockwell Secretariat probably the greatest racehorse that ever lived. Makes me proud to be Virginian. American Pharoah is my personal favorite. As a young black man I don't think many others my age and race probably care about horse racing but I love it. I'll never forget the BCC. Everyone in my house watched and saw how brilliant Pharoah was and they don't even follow the sport. This horse was magical. I'll never forget him.
@@Rick-rl1ss He is Secretariats great-great-great-great-great grandson
Shame on any enthusiast who has a single negative thing to say about Pharoah. He won the TC, then backed that up by winning the Haskell, finishing a close second at the Travers, then destroying the field and the track record at the Breeder's Cup. In a sport that has been in a tailspin for decades, AP brought six months' worth of wonderful positive attention. What more could a racing fan ask for?
He didn't even look like he was working hard in this one. Deceptively smooth stride and unbelievable efficiency of motion.
finish it off with the dubai world cup
That's the most important thing -- he kept racing that summer rather than just being shuttled off to stud like Justify was.
@@mrgoodbytes4709 oh wow he won that too?? That really is a big win after travelling so long to get there....
John McKenna Justify had some problems in his foot, which is why they retired him early. I still think AP was the better horse, and I think AP enjoyed racing more than Justify did.
American Pharoah is the best horse I have ever witnessed hands down. California Chrome, Shared Belief, Zenyatta, Arrogate, Barbaro, Curlin, Songbird...American Pharoah blows them all away! The Secretariat of my generation!!!
Barbaro was faster though. He blew them all away in the Kentucky derby by a margin that hadn't been seen in alot of years. Not to mention he ran the fastest last quarter mile since Secretariat. I am not taking anything away from American Pharaoh just watch Barbaro Kentucky derby. He was considered a sinch to win the triple crown if not for the tragedy.
I 1000% agree with this, and I go back to Affirmed and Alydar. 8f - 12f, I'd take AP vs ANY horse post 1973 (Big Red). Slew, Bid, Holy Bull, Cigar, Rachel... any of them.
@@supersolo6 You were wise not to include Big Red.
It's hard to take anyone over a Triple Crown/Grand Slam winner. For 37 years (including just the year before) it seemed almost impossible that we'd ever see a TC again.
As far as other horses, we tend to focus on the ones who lost the TC bid at the Belmont. But Afleet Alex also won 2/3 legs and his final stretch performances at the Preakness and Belmont were phenomenal
I think Ghostzapper & Invasor deserve to be mentioned in that category as well. I actually think Ghostzapper could've given Pharoah a run.
"A triple crown winner, A breeders cup winner, a horse, of a life time!!" Gave me chills from head to toe. Amazing being able to watch such a great horse and witness history in the making, as I will be able to tell my kids how I was there to witness one of the greatest to do it. Thanks for the wonderful memories Pharoah, and also thanks for quite a bit of cash, lol. ❤️😉
This horse is no joke. what a beauty.
Announcer was fantastic! This race gives me goosbumps. It was an honor seeing this legendary horse race all of 2015 and goes to show how truly hard it is to win a triple crown.
I love how you can just see the difference in his stride compared to the other horses on the backstretch. He literally floats over the ground.
I just read an article that says when Baffert gets sad about Pharoah being gone he watches his races- I can see why: so uplifting. His stride is amazing
That's why he had that powerful jump from the gate and in seconds he was leading with effortless
I've been waiting to see a horse like this for many years. I heard all the stories about Secretariat from my parents, even stories from my grandparents about Citation and a few of the other TC winners. Now I finally can tell my kids one day that I was lucky enough to watch the great American Pharoah.
That bobbing head in rhythm with those long strides. So determined, so focused. A horse for the ages.
Horse racing needed something like this to pick it back up. It's a pleasure to watch such a great athlete finally emerge after all these years of waiting. Yes, there are horses who are better than others, however, every Triple Crown winner has done an amazing feat. I see Secretariat has come up a lot here in the topics naturally; Bold Ruler's line produced some really nice foals. Ruffian was also from that line.
He wasn't even working hard on the final stretch. That was absolutely amazing. Victor took time to pose at the Finish line.
Many a man have been moved to tears by greatness. I got a little misty watching this, because this is greatness.
Aaron, totally agree with you. For some reason, I felt emotional as well. We will miss this great champion! We were blessed to see this great horse!
you're not the only one. its a thing of beauty watching this horse run. Greatness.
+aaronman4772 Same here. American pharaoh, make me remember the Great Secretariat. AMERICAN PHAROAH THANK YOU.
+johnwayne87 Definitely!! Fantastic Story!
+aaronman4772 I still get misty watching the rerun. I was STUNNED watching it live as he pulled away from horses the nay sayers claimed outclassed him.... AND SET A TRACK RECORD. I hope he enjoys his retirement but he will be missed. What memories he gave us here in 2015.
Larry Collmus is a legendary broadcaster. His calls give you goosebumps. American Pharoah is truly the horse of a lifetime.
Larry Collmus has amazing calls.
"The Horse of a LIFETIME!"
Classics! The best ever
Greatest commentary of all time.
I remember being drawn to him MONTHS before the Derby (back in January of 2015), only to have people doubting my hunch on several occasions. I'm glad I stayed true to this guy. What a horse!
+Taylorluvshorses16 You really went out on a limb picking the reigning 2 year old of the year from 2014. :)
+Johnathan S Sure, however Dortmund was largely the favorite going into the Derby. Also, there's a difference between saying, "This horse is good and I think he'll win the Derby," and "This is the best horse I've ever seen. He will win the TC." (
+kgetz3 Dortmund was 4/1 American Pharoah was 5/2
I told my wife immediately after he won Arkansas that I thought he'd win the triple crown. She doesn't follow racing at all so she just shrugged her shoulders at me. When he won the Belmont, I was jumping up and down when he hit the top of the stretch... by the time he hit the 1/16 pole, I was just sitting on ground in actual tears. What a horse.
here it is -Breeders Cup time again and I am rooting for California Chrome but for nothing will matchthe excitement of Pharoah wining the triple crown and the Breeders Cup. I miss him.
I get chills every time I see this horse one. American Pharoah is a worthy descendant of Secretariat. I love this horse so much!❤
my aunt said he wouldn't even win the triple crown. rubbed it in her face. but she died when she saw he was the FIRST HORSE TO WIN THE GRANDSLAM!!!!
The first (and only) horse to win the Grand Slam was Whirlaway, who won the Triple Crown and the Travers in 1941.
I was there he kicked the Gate before they opened ..never seen anything like him my god
I've never seen a horse change leads so smoothly in every race he ran...he was all class......
I have long enjoyed watching Secretariat's last race (Toronto, October 1973) out here on TH-cam and it always makes me tear up a bit. Like American Pharoah, Secretariat won the famed Triple Crown in 1973 and was entered in some key races after his tremendous victory at Belmont. Also like Secretariat, American Pharoah was coming into his last race after having suffered a narrow loss in his previous race. (Hollywood can't write this any better!) I felt in my heart that American Pharoah would follow the way of Secretariat with a very comfortable win in the Breeders' Cup. Who for second then? That was harder for me to figure - there were several wonderful horses in the field. In the end I "wheeled" an exacta (4/all) with $10.00 on each horse (hoping for a long-shot in second, of course). My $70.00 bet paid something close to $400.00 (the exacta times five) which was greatly boosted by the 33-1 (#6 horse) which came in for second. I wish all my bets were this easy. P.S. Much credit should forever go to Mr. Zayat (owner of AP) and Miss Penny Chenery (Secretariat's owner, now 93 and still going strong!) for not retiring their beautiful horses directly after their Triple Crown win at Belmont. That would have been the "easy and sensible" thing to do - instead, these classy owners wanted to better promote the sport they so love by showcasing their champions in selected events which gave many thousands of (current and future) fans a chance to glimpse horse racing history. Forever thanks for wholly giving back in the way you both did!
Now he can Netflix n Chill like The Champion he is for the rest of his life!!!
This race was NOT shown on local NBC stations, they chose to air a football game instead after one Breeder's Cup race. Thank you for posting on youtube. So wonderful to see that a new generation has its "wonderhorse". In my youth it was Secretariat.
I was BLESSED to witness this race in person at Keeneland. I'm 22 years old and have watched horse racing since I was child. American Pharoah, in my opinion, is the greatest horse of my lifetime, just as the announcer stated. All I ever wanted growing up was a Triple Crown winner and he gave me that and so much more. Thanks for the memories my boy.
He proved himself that he is the greatest horse of all time. American Pharoah I wish you a happy and long life.
THERE WAS NO CATCHING THAT HORSE
HE MADE HISTORY AND I AM SO HAPPY I GOT TO WITNESS IT!!!
WAY TO GO AP! WHAT A GREAT WAY TO GO OUT WITH A BANG! CONGRATULATIONS!!! AND HAPPY RETIREMENT!
battousaiblade he was a horse of a lifetime
The way Pharoah comes out of the gate always makes me smile - his head and his ears are straight up, a bounce in his step, and a little bit of a side-eye to the others
Such a big beautiful peaceful horse that turns into lightning on the track. Such an awesome stride and running style.
I cried happy tears when he won but i also am sad because he isn't going to run anymore but I watched him run in all of his career he is a truly special horse
not only was he a beast on the track, but his stride is just pure poetry. i have never seen a horse with such a beautiful stride like that. it's like he floats. amazing
+2138red You mean the way he glided through that dirt.....
Waited my whole life to see a triple crown winner. Love this horse
The Horse Of A Lifetime - Such an epic call and so true!
I admit I was teary when he came around the corner. What a treat he has been for everyone!
One of the greatest calls I've ever heard
a special Nobel should be awarded for this transcendent achievement
Can we not compare Secretariat and AP all the time? Jesus, all the TC winners are special in their own way, there's no sense even debating who would win because Secretariat is long gone!!
I agree. I just watching this punctuation mark on a great career. Sure, I would have loved to have seen him in the 2016 Classic with Arrogate and Chrome, but more for the spectacle. I don't need to compare AP with Big Red.
I think the fact that people feel such a need to defend Secretariat against him now speaks for itself actually.
Well, Secretariat did set a new record in 2012, becoming the first horse to do so 23 years after he had been gone.
I think it's because AP is Secretariat's great-great-geat grandson is why they keep getting compared. Being attached to such a famous horse in pedigree, expectations naturally rose up when AP began to perform and perform well.
@@nickthestick26 secretariat has all 3 track records dipshit no debate
Way to Go! He did it SO easily. Congratulations AP and All. Well done. See you soon.
there are no words for this horse he is one of the best I have seen in a while
I am old enough to remember the great Secretariat winning the final jewel in the triple crown by 31 lengths. Then came the amazing Cinderella story of Seattle Slew 4 years later, with the great rivalry between Affirmed and Alydar the very next year.. I was blessed as a kid to see these great thoroughbreds in action, and it guaranteed a lifetime love of thoroughbred horse racing. Like a lot of others my age, I started to think we may never see another triple crown winner before we died. Thank God for the arrival of American Pharoah! I got to witness greatness as an adult one more time! He is truly an amazing animal!
This horse is a fucking beast!!!
+Im Stez and his great great great grandfather is Secretariat how awsome is that im curious to see who Amercan Pharoahs siblings are he has a sister name Cleopatra
Except he'd have lost by 30 LENGTHS to Secretariat in the 1973 Belmont. What happened in 1973 was BEYOND comprehension so START THINKING that way.... What really happened? Can horses really "hear people" and what were "the people" asking for at that moment.
King Pharoah
Won some good money on that race..was a great Halloween 🎃 that year!
I love how AP has his ears up all around the track it’s like he’s saying “ I got this”!
Just so impressive. The best horses in the world are targeted for the BC Classic and AP just obliterates the field. The discussion can now be had where American Pharoah fits among the great horses of all time. It's probably a tough case to put him over Secretariat or Man O' War, but any other horse? 3rd greatest horse of all time?
+Randy Bailin sure he is great horse, didn't beat much in the classic and he was beaten in the Travers..... don't even mention him in the same sentence as the great Secretariat... Citation was better then AP
+Randy Bailin Cigar had a better career than AP
+reiningmoney I have one way of seeing this. When phenomenal horses run, they make great horses look like donkeys running against them. People say AP got away with easy fractions, nobody went with him early, they gave it away to him....let me tell you, did they not see Tonalist and Frosted making those big middle moves at the far turn to try to take it to AP? Did they not see Ortiz swatting Keen Ice before the last turn to try to stay in contention? Did they not see Honor Code not even make up any ground the last 1/8th as AP was pulling away after setting the pace and still put around 10 lengths on him? These are all good horses, American Pharoah just makes them look like regular horses. Give this horse the credit that is due. Whom has he beaten? Pretty much everything that has shown up!
+Randy Bailin No. He's the greatest horse in decades and he is wonderful to watch, but I'd say it's a stretch for him to make it in the top 15. There have been many, many amazing horses throughout history, most of them unknown to the general public because they haven't had movies made about them. :) Of course, it's all speculation. Times and wins and losses mean little when generations separate horses of high caliber.
+reiningmoney Even the great Secretariat lost races in his time. His loss to Onion in the Whitney is still considered one of the greatest upsets of all-time. Every athlete has the potential to have a bad outing, no matter how dominant they are. That said, I agree that AP isn't Secretariat's caliber. But few horses, no matter how great, ever were or will be.
...AND AMERICAN PHAROAH - IS GETTING AWAY!!!!
This horse wasn't just competing against the other horses on the track in his career. He was battling history with every stride when he won the Belmont and Breeders Cup! What an athlete!
Deserves his place among the greats
I don't think we will see another horse quite like American Pharoah for a long time.
I was there at the Breeders Cup just to watch Pharoah run his final race. :)
american pharoah looked like he was having fun the whole time, his ear were forward and looked like he was having a blast. What an awesome horse :-)!
I was surprised by how exhilarating I found this, impressive
great watching in HD..thanks
The great great great grandson of the finest horse to ever win the triple crown.What a pedigree.
true admiration for pharoah. we all know there will never be another big red, so, can we please just appreciate this beauty.
American Pharaoh proved that he is the second-best three-year old thoroughbred race horse in modern horse racing history. Indeed, Pharaoh's achievement, winning the Grand Slam, and winning each race decisively, is one of the greatest sports accomplishments in history.
+Charles Ray I think you're forgetting a certain horse named Frankel?
Amazing how they took the sire who ran in the triple crown races and turn it into a triple crown winner 🏆
Pioneer of the Nile I remember reading the article how he had a heart attack broke my heart ❤️
first Secretariat descendant to win both the Triple Crown and the Breeders' Classic.AP reminds me of the friendly nature of Secretariat and the discipline and elegance of Man O'War.Farewell.You will be missed on the racetracks.
I remember this soooo well. I cried as he so many traits..like Secritariat... but definitely a legend in his own right!!!! BEAUTIFUL HORSE!!!! "horse of A Lifetime".
He's such a beautiful mover, just so fluid, I could watch him run all day..
American Pharaoh, a horse of one hundred life times.....
+Gel B don't get carried away, your probably to young to remember SECRETARIAT... you know the horse who ran 2:24 and won the Belmont by 31 lengths.... who won Horse of the year as a 2yr old and 3yr old and also won G1 races on Turf now that's a horse of 1000 lifetimes
+reiningmoney Yeah the horse that also got beaten 5 times
Well, he is beaten 5 times. I blame on jokey for most of the losses. Second, I correct myself about one thing. SECRETARIAT is still in the first place.
Charles Ray No, not at all. I charge anyone who has an obsession with an animal's balls as mentally ill. On the contrary, we would all benefit from your removal from society. You are a pitiful individual who finds some sort of perverse pleasure from trolling on videos of Secretariat and American Pharoah. I shall no longer waste my time with someone beneath me.
Charles Ray
ahhhhh haha ha! i knew it! You are one aren't ya. Goddamn im good. IM GOOD!
there will never be another horse like pharoah
Pharaoh had a great stride and mind and the travers loss showed a champions heart even in defeat. I don't like to rank horses all time but he surely must be on the top 15 of all time.
American Pharoah is the king of the Breeder's Cup Classic and we know it. American Pharoah is a racing legend to me.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZZZZZZING!!!!
THIS JUST in ONE UNCONDITIONAL TALENT HAS BOUGHT SAN FRANCISCO time life regression LEASH.
the others didn't even have a chance!! what a great horse!!! 🏇
We all know who the king of the track is. American Pharaoh!!!
Memo to Sports Illustrated: your 2015 Sportsman of the Year has four legs. Don't even THINK about naming anyone else.
Every great champion should go out this way, by absolutely burying the competition. I remember the pre-race hype when everyone was talking about Shared Belief and Beholder and Honor Code, and how well those horses were running. Then Pharaoh got beat at the Travers, and everyone was jumping on Belief or Beholder's bandwagon to take down AP. I remember my last comment about the race online was saying- Let's keep it real here. AP is going to win this race. Sure, Shared Belief and Beholder both, unfortunately, dropped out, but AP ran a race that showed it wouldn't have mattered.
Certainly the greatest horse since Cigar, and probably the greatest horse since Seattle Slew.
Shhhhh hear that?... sounds like Justify is making his claim as one of the greats of all time. What a show we have had the past few years! 2 great horses, AP and Justify without a doubt!! Just glad it happened during my time!
Larry was so emotional there he really does put a lot into his calls
Triple crown American Pharoah wins the Bredders Cup Classics also. Best horse of the world actually. 2015
nail in the coffin to prove he is THE BEST......
HOrse of a lifetime is for sure! Love this guy

We seen movies on Pharlap, Sea Biscuit and Secretariat.
Is there a good story for a film on AP !!
hall of fame song is sooooo perfect for him like if you listen to it
Incredible horse!!
What a call, absolute chills
am so glad AP won his last race just as his great great great grandsire,Secretariat did.Way to go AP!
The greatest race horse since Secretariat.
I could listen to this dude call horse races all day
I love this commentator
Nice call of the race...
love the race calling super job on that
I grew up on a farm with horses - The great ones always fascinates me - Since Cigar American Pharoah is the most impressive I've seen - The horse whose tail was chewed off by another horse, had his name spelt incorrectly and who has a disability with his testicles not protruding
A Beast !!!!
A super horse.
Impresionante, bien pudo ganar sin probar el fuete. Victor, bien acoplado con su caballo.
It’s amazing how he times that call “ …life time…”” at exact moment when AP crosses the finish line
I love American Pharoah but can we just appreciate Honor Code’s hustle?
Not sure if on all his races but most of them he get out of the gate with a powerful force
Effinex was the longest shot on the board that day. 25 to 1.
You made it look like a jog in the park American Pharoah! Enjoy retirement!
He had the race well in hand. What was the point in striking him?
did anyone else notice that when victor espinoza raised his crop in the air after winning, he was under a streak of light? i thought it was cool, don't judge me X3
I think AP's IFHA rating was fully justified, receiving a 131 for this performance. To put that into perspective, Winx beat a world-class field in the Cox Plate (a field with significantly more depth that this race) convincingly and received a 123. Such is the high regard that AP is held in by the international racing community. But it begs the question: had AP not won the triple crown would he have received such a high rating?
What an amazing freaking horse
top horse
Let's pair him with Beholder. That should be one hell of a foal
Awesome
way to go Pharaoh!
