I was there and it was awesome though Belmont was smaller than I thought. Much much much more crowded than the Breeders Cup at Santa Anita. Place went bonkers as AP pulled away.
Horses ran. Winners Won. It played out. I was eating a sausage in Breckenridge when it happened.
5 1/2 lengths is no Secretariat.
Yeah, Secretariat won in 31 lengths. American Pharoah will never sniff a glue factory though, he ran the last quarter in 24 seconds and change, a little faster than Secretariat...

Horses tend to run faster when there are other horses around them, it turns out. They don't benefit—like track stars—from the knowledge that a world record is on the line.
