performance you see today, did you have in your mind some kind of game plan based on how he runs today as to where he might go next? >> not really. we just -- we wanted to run him here. we wanted him to run well. i was so pressured because i've never been in a situation where the last thing we want to do is embarrass the horse. a lot of pressure coming here and you know there is a ninth horse, there's some tough horses in there, and i knew competitive edge was going to have a good pace so we just told victor go after him and don't worry about it. if you're on the best horse, you'll win, and he did it. >> congratulations, bob. achmed zayed, you told me you were more nervous than the belmont. i imagine the nerves are over and you might be thinking what's next now for american pharoah? >> i'm speechless but i am extremely proud.

it's an honor and a privilege. i couldn't be more happier that this is happening in the great state of new jersey. >> home state. >> this is a superstar. he has touched everybody's heart and i'm so grateful for all of you. it's your horse. >> i know you want to savor the moment but any idea where we might see your superstar run next? >> no clue. >> thanks very much. tom? >> what a great day of celebration. victor with his dad. they can celebrate another victory as he won the way a triple crown winner should here at the haskell, the easiest of efforts. weave admired that stride so many times and the way he just scooted to the lead. it looked like he wasn't even running hard. >> and competitive edge the pace setter set a decent pace. he's no slouch, but victor as jerry said was waterskiing

early in the race. meaning he was high up firm hold. >> feet on the dashboard. >> -- feet on the dashboard. >> watching how easily he wins where does american pharoah go next? he would be the prohibited favorite no matter when and where he runs again. i'm with you, randy, this is about as impressive as i've ever seen a horse. >> he's the favorite right now to win the breeders cup classic early and complete that grand slam, the triple crown and the breeders cup. he becomes the tenth horse to win this and he did it in the last stretch. >> as victor espinoza lets the crowd take a good look at him. let's take a look at the payouts by twinspires.com.

that's 2.10 and 2.10. upstart finishing in third, with competitive edge in second. here he is as the fans get one final look at him before the winner's circle presentation. all i can say is wow. i don't know what else you can say at this point. >> seattle slew was so worn out that he won poorly. american pharoah, you have to wonder did triple crown take anything out of him. he looked better today than the last time we saw him. >> i don't particularly go to races that i don't work at. but i would go. if we did not televise this next race i would make a point to see this horse run. that's how special i think he is to the game and to america. >> he's special in so many ways not only his ability to run but his personality and just the way he conducts himself, and that

beautiful, beautiful stride that carried him to the easy victory today in the $1.75 million william hill haskell here on the breeders cup challenge series. he wins the breeders cup. special thanks to the industry's official data base for thoroughbred racing. saturday the challenge continues in saratoga with the whitney. that's saturday 5:00 eastern on nbc. coming up, except on the west coast, it's your local news. and then it's "america's got talent" followed by "american ninja warrior." this is tom hammond saying good night from monmouth park in oceanport, new jersey where the champion strutted his stuff.
