Santa Anita
American Pharoah jogs
Shigeki Kikkawa Fans fawn over American Pharoah after his arrival at Santa Anita Park on June 18. He will parade on the track between the seventh and eighth races Saturday.
American Pharoah was jogged at Santa Anita on Wednesday, two days after he worked three furlongs in 36.40 seconds. The workout was the first for American Pharoah since his win in the Belmont Stakes.
Trainer Bob Baffert said the colt has been energetic in recent training, unlike after the Belmont, when he was paraded at Churchill Downs and Santa Anita.
“I could tell that was getting to him a little bit,” Baffert said.
American Pharoah is scheduled for another workout this weekend, but a late-summer comeback race has yet to be finalized. One possible spot is the $1 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park on Aug. 2.
