Friends and enemies, this is really a happy day. Below are what some other people have said today and I agree especially with those who praise track announcer Larry Collmus' call of the race. When it became apparent American Pharoah was going to win the intensity and excitement in Collmus' voice just grew and grew until it crescendoed in a croaked shout. It is one of the great announcing jobs in American sports history. AmericanPharoahIsFinallyTheOne!
@cbfowler Heard @larrycollmus radio driving across SF Bay Bridge- moved, in awe of this extraordinary horse & his Mexican rider #TripleCrown
Well, that ranks among the great sporting events I've seen in 28 years on the job. Early news story: sports.yahoo.com/news/american- Column to come
Congrats American Pharoah! What a truly incredible horse, will go down as the best of our generation. The Triple Crown is all yours!
