I haven't found any American horse exciting since Zenyatta retired

I was there for American Pharoah and I was there yesterday i've been to the stakes twice im 2 for 2. But as thrilling and as crazy as the crowd got I was way more excited for pharoah at that point i had been waiting along time to see a triple crown winner.
What were the ticket prices for each race?

Justify is a better horse though and was more impressive imo...

Perfect 6 for 6 1st place finishes with a triple crown...
I thought Pharoah was way more impressive in the belmont. Justify preakness run i thought was top notch was able to hold on after good magic gave him all he had.

Damn that's cheap.
$25vfor General Admission tickets it was like $60ish to get a seat but you can pretty much roam around wherever you want with a GA ticket. Some areas had security but if you go to the third level you can see the entire track even from behind the seats.

Because the drought magnified APs run...

Hype, coverage, crowd etc was more into it because its been 30+ years since we had a triple crown winner...

Justify is a more impressive horse imo, that Preakness run cemented that...

Few thought he'd be able to win the Belmont after that grueling Preakness...

He didn't just win the Belmont, did it wire-to-wire and his jockey didn't even ask him to go till they were in the stretch...I have never seen a more effortless wire-to-wire finish at the Belmont which is notoriously grueling...

the record also speaks for itself...

Justify first 6 races all 1st place finishes...

AP had a 2nd place finish in his second race...
