He just made winning look easy. I am not a follower of horse-racing; but it is heartwarming to see a horse just go all out and win the Triple Crown like this. What a gorgeous looking horse, too !

Congratulations, America.

Oh no. And I didn't watch it because I've watched horses lose the triple crown for so long. Congrats to American Pharoah's owner's and team. Well done!

Jockey Victor Espinoza donated his entire Belmont States earnings to City of Hope charity.

I have been watching these three races for what seems to be forever. I really enjoy watching those beautiful horses run. I usually pick a "horse of a different color" to win; they never do. If it had not been a triple crown race I would have picked Frosted to win because he is grey. He did come in second!

I usually watch the Kentucky Derby, but not the others. However, I watched Belmont this year because I did pick American Pharoah to win the Derby, and all the talk about whether he would win the 3C. I’m a gambler….wish I’d put money on him!

It was so exciting…..closed my eyes for a second….almost put my hands over my ears, but glad I didn’t. I literally squealed!

I don't think he would have brought you much in winnings since as the favorite it would be an even money bet. I did see the recap of the race and he won by several lengths. What a handsome animal he is. Great champion.

I figure looking at the video maybe 6-7 lengths...What a horse.

Congrats to horse, jockey, trainer and even the owner. Good going!
