He deserves everything he's getting. Year before last he wasn't getting the premium mounts and he still rode his heart out. He's a great jockey. It was a good race. I've seen Dortmund and Danzig Moon but not Am. Pharoah before. Curious if he can pull it off.

This guy has sure made a load of $$$ off of race horses.

As for American Pharoah, it looked like a really good horse to me but ... he is no Secretariat best I can tell.

Good luck in the Preakness American Pharoah!

& recommend.
