Pioneerof the Nile's influence continues to ripple
Pioneerof the Nile died three years ago, at the age of 13, but in that relatively short life, he accomplished much. A Grade 1 winner at ages 2 and 3, Pioneerof the Nile delivered the sport's long-awaited Triple Crown winner, siring 2015 hero American Pharoah. Still represented on the track by his final crops, Pioneerof the Nile also left behind a bevy of sons to carry on his legacy. That was apparent on Saturday's busy day of racing nationwide, as Pioneerof the Nile and three of his sons recorded stakes winners, including capturing a pair of Kentucky Derby points races.
