American Pharoah stamped his name into the history books this year with a tremendous campaign that included the first Triple Crown victory in 37 years and a Breeders’ Cup Classic romp as his exit into retirement. He won nine of his 11 career starts while traveling to nine different racetracks. He made headlines across the world with his misspelled name and short tail being just a few things that made him unique.
