OCEANPORT, N.J. — In his first race since becoming the first Triple Crown champion in 37 years, American Pharoah raced to a three-length victory in the 48th running of the William Hill Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park on Sunday.
It was the eighth straight victory for American Pharoah, who became the eighth horse to win his next start after sweeping the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes.
It was a lucrative day for American Pharoah’s owner, Zayat Stables, and his trainer, the Hall of Famer Bob Baffert.
