"History was made on June 6, 2015 at the Belmont Stakes when American Pharoah won the Triple Crown, the first since Affirmed in 1978. As magnificent as the champion is, the team behind him has been all too human while on the road to immortality. American Pharoah was born in 2012 in Lexington, Kentucky. New York Times sportswriter Joe Drape tells the story not only of how the ethereal colt, won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes, but how he changed lives. The making of an exceptional racehorse, covering everything from the flamboyant owner, the jockey's earlier heartbreaking losses, and the trainer's intensity - a stirring portrait of a horse for the ages and the people around him. American Pharoah now lives in Versailles, Kentucky, where he stands as a stallion for $200,000 per breeding."--Publisher's description.
