American Theorem

American Theorem won his career debut by 1 1/2 lengths Aug. 31 at Del Mar and followed with a runner-up finish in the Grade 1 American Pharoah Stakes Sept. 27 at Santa Anita Park.

American Theorem earned his first graded stakes win at Santa Anita on May 29, 2022, when he won the Grade 2 Triple Bend Stakes by a nose in a 13.10-1 upset. He rated off an early speed duel and moved to engage the leaders at the top of the stretch. He battled with Principe Carlo in the stretch, and managed to outduel that rival in an exciting finish. American Theoren showed that cutting back in distance for the Triple Bend was a recipe for success when he followed with a dominant win in the Grade 1, $400,000 Bing Crosby Stakes July 30 at Del Mar, a victory that cemented an expenses-paid berth in the Qatar Racing Breeders' Cup Sprint in November at Keeneland.

In his next start, American Theorem rallied willingly in the stretch of the $250,000 Pat O'Brien Stakes but came up short of winner Laurel River in a runner-up finish.

American Theorem is from the first crop of 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. He is a half-brother to three stakes winners.
