LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Sunday, May 3, 2015) \u2013<\/b> To set the stage for his press conference Sunday morning to reflect on this fourth victory, Hall of Fame trainerBob Baffert<\/b> brought the star of the 141st Kentucky Derby — American Pharoah<\/b> — out of the barn to pose for the cameras.<\/p>\n

Bribing him with carrots, Baffert led the Zayat Stables<\/b> colt to different parts of the circle of media and fans for photos and admiration. Several people reached out and petted the colt\u2019s nose. After about 10 minutes of show, Baffert sent American Pharoah back to his stall and moved into the tell part of the program.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Baffert said the one-length victory was about the horse, not him. American Pharoah and third-place finisher Dortmund<\/b> may both go on to the Preakness Stakes (GI) at Pimlico on May 16.\u00a0 Baffert, 62, won the Derby with Silver Charm<\/b> in 1997, Real Quiet<\/b> in 1998 and War Emblem<\/b> in 2002 and has waited a dozen years for No. 4. He got it done with the 5-2 favorite, who ran down Dortmund and runner-up Firing Line<\/b> in the stretch.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s fun to come here, but I think this win was different than my other ones,\u201d Baffert said. \u201cI needed to get it done. I needed to win it. Something was building that something good was going to happen. And it did. It was a big sigh of relief. I was like \u2018mission accomplished.\u2019\u00a0 That\u2019s the feeling I have at this time.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Baffert said his sons were very excited about the victory and that he was surprised that Justin Zayat<\/b>, the stable\u2019s racing manager, had gotten sick to this stomach at the end of the race.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIt just goes to show you how much it meant to them,\u201d Baffert said. \u201cIt was for them. It wasn\u2019t for Bob Baffert. Getting the fourth Derby means nothing to me. It means that they gave me a really good horse and I didn\u2019t screw it up. I had the talent. Anybody could have trained this horse and won it. I don\u2019t feel like I did anything special.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 American Pharoah sat third, not far off the pace, under jockey Victor Espinoza<\/b> for the first half of the race. Espinoza urged him to accelerate near the half-mile pole and he moved up to engage Firing Line and Dortmund through a mile in 1:36.45. Racing wide down the stretch he reached the front inside the sixteenth pole and finished the 10 furlongs in 2:03.02.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Baffert acknowledged that American Pharoah accomplished a lot, winning the sternest test of his career. At the annual question about whether the winner has what it takes to win the Triple Crown, Baffert provided a clue but not a direct answer.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIf you look back at all the Triple Crown runners, they ran a lot,\u201d he said. \u201cI think a lot has to deal with who you are running against and how tough it is. This was such a tough Derby. This was the toughest Derby I\u2019ve been in.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 American Pharoah and Dortmund will stay at Baffert\u2019s stable at Churchill Downs this week. The decision on whether Dortmund will go on to the Preakness will be made when Baffert returns from California next weekend. Baffert said that as of Sunday that he could see of no reason why Dortmund — who set the pace for a mile and continued on bravely to hold the show position – would not go on to Balitmore. Baffert revealed that Dortmund\u2019s Derby start was in jeopardy for several hours on April 25 when he had a slight bout with colic after a workout at Santa Anita Park.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Baffert said that owners who send horses to his barn understand that they might be running against stablemates in big races such as the Triple Crown, which is why Dortmund is a candidate for the Preakness.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cMy job is to get my people there,\u201d he said. \u201cIf the horse is doing well do we run him there or wait for the Belmont? I don\u2019t know. Let\u2019s say if \u2018Pharoah\u2019 didn\u2019t win the Preakness, I don\u2019t think I would run him in the Belmont.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s one of those things where I will sit down and discuss it with Kaleem Shah<\/b>. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s going to want a little revenge. His horse ran a really good race. If \u2018Pharoah\u2019 is that good he\u2019s going to have to run hard. Right now I would say if all\u2019s well (he would run); and Dortmund looked good.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Baffert said that his Derby celebration was a fairly quiet: dinner with his family and the Zayats, then watching the Mayweather<\/b>–Pacquiao<\/b> fight on television.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWe just talked about how relieved and lucky we are that the horses ran so well and that we won another Derby,\u201d he said. \u201cWe were pretty tired, pretty worn out. It\u2019s been a really hectic week. When you have that kind of pressure on you that everybody puts you in the winners\u2019 circle (in advance), it\u2019s added pressure. It was a different feeling. It was a lot of relief.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As for carrot-loving American Pharoah, his performances, five wins in six starts, do the talking, though Baffert was quick to explain his brilliance.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cHe was just born with that talent,\u201d Baffert said. \u201cHe has that long stride. He\u2019s quick. He\u2019s got a really good mind. He just floats over the ground. He\u2019s different, just the way he\u2019s made. What we saw yesterday is that he\u2019s not one-dimensional, which is so nice to have.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cBodemeister<\/b> (the Derby runner-up in 2012) had to just be out there. He\u2019s quick. He\u2019s handy. You can move on him at any time. I think with more racing he\u2019s getting smarter. He wasn\u2019t rank with Victor at all. So he can sit there and pounce, run by you and go a mile and a quarter. He is competitive. He wants to win. He knows he\u2019s special.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
