LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — In a few days, there will be a vacant stall in Bob Baffert’s barn and an empty space in the hearts of the trainer and the owner of American Pharoah.
The 3-year-old colt bids farewell to racing in the Breeders’ Cup Classic this weekend, ending a memorable journey that included him winning the sport’s first Triple Crown in 37 years.
No longer will Baffert’s wife, Jill, and owner Ahmed Zayat be checking their smartphones in the wee hours of the morning to see what’s going on via the camera in American Pharoah’s stall.
No need to stash his favorite snack of peeled baby carrots in their pockets anymore. Their gushing, endless discussions about every little shake of the colt’s head or whinny or even him peeing will be just memories.
