Arizona community rallies around American Pharoah

After taking a rain-soaked Preakness Stakes on Saturday, American Pharoah is now just one win away from the Triple Crown.

American Pharoah is, of course, trained by Bob Baffert, who is an Arizona alum.

So it's been kind of cool to watch the Arizona community get behind this three-year-old horse for the past couple weeks, and now for three more weeks heading into the Belmont.

It's ranged from prominent head coaches:

Congratulations to the Baffert Family and American Pharoah on today's Preakness Victory. #TripleCrown #BearDown

(By the way, American Pharoah is literally the only thing RichRod has tweeted about the last three weeks)

to the athletics department as a whole:

Congratulations to @UofA's own Bob Baffert on the Preakness win and we wish you continued good luck!
