In 2015, American Pharoah won the Triple Crown and went on to win The Breeder's Cup Classic. He retired after winning 9 of 11 races and finishing second in another.
In many ways, American Pharoah (yes this is how the owners chose to spell his name) was appropriately symbolic of Barack Obama's reign of terror. The colt was not named American President or American Hero or American Glory. Fate, as she is wont to do, selected the perfect metaphor once more.
Yesterday, Justify won the Belmont Stakes and completed the third leg of The Triple Crown. Perhaps fate has once more left her fingerprints on the events of the day. Let's hope so.
