00:00So it's time for the Coolmore Stallion of the Week and this week that is American
00:03Pharaoh. American Pharaoh was the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years. He was
00:08the 2015 Horse of the Year and 2014 Eclipse Champion Juvenile.
00:13Sire of 45 stakes winners. His 2023 yearling sold for up to 1.2 million
00:19dollars and he is on a roll in the month of March alone. Listen to this.
00:24Wasakuso, I hope I'm pronouncing that someone right, won the Grade 3 Florida
00:28Oaks at Tampa Bay Downs. Forever Super won the Turf Classic stakes at Tampa Bay.
00:32Gahila Princess won the Cicada at Aqueduct for Brad Cox and will target the
00:36Grade 3 Gazelle stakes next. Sweet Rebecca was named a TDN Rising Star on
00:40debut and has since been purchased privately by Jon Stewart's Resolute
00:43Racing who also signed for a $525,000 American Pharaoh affiliate OBS March.
00:50Riff Rocket won the second career Grade 1 in Australia on Saturday when taking
00:54the Rose Hill Guinness and in the race you're watching here Breeders' Cup
00:58Juvenile Phillies runner-up Jody's Pride won the Busher stakes and is now ranked
01:03number one on the Kentucky Oaks leaderboard. Randy, I feel that American
01:06Pharaoh is kind of overlooked as a sire despite all his accomplishments we just
01:11mentioned. Why do you think that is? Well he's becoming increasingly overlooked.
01:15Obviously when he first retired as the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years
01:19there was Pharaoh mania. There was all sorts of anticipation to see his first
01:23foals and it was going to be it was always going to be difficult to sustain
01:27that level of Pharaoh mania very similar to Secretariat when he retired and now
01:31some other super stallions have come into the mix. Most notably Coolmore's
01:36other Triple Crown stallion justifies even within his own barn right now
01:40American Pharaoh is being sort of out hyped so to speak but the fact remains
01:46that American Pharaoh is an outstanding stallion who produces athletic foals
01:49with good minds, might justify, they can succeed on dirt or grass and the real
01:55positive I think for breeders in all of this Bill is that they can now tap into
01:59a Triple Crown winner at what has become a very reasonable price. Yeah and that
02:04price is $50,000 American Pharaoh stands at Coolmore for the aforementioned
02:08$50,000 and congratulations to the American Pharaoh team for a real real
02:14good run there.
