American Pharoah : Triple Crown champion by Mickle, Shelley Fraser, author instant download

215 pages : 22 cm, Shelley Mickle tells the story of the beloved horse, American Pharoah, from birth to his historic achievement of becoming the twelfth Triple Crown winner. He was an unlikely winner with a misspelled name, a chewed-off tail, and a horse who had to wear earplugs when he raced. When American Pharoah won the American Triple Crown and the Breeders' Cup Classic in 2015 he became the first horse to win the \"Grand Slam\" of American horse racing, by winning all four races. His story captured American's imagination, and this inspired account will also feature the handlers who saw his promise: owner, Ahmed Zayat of Zayat Stables, trainer Bob Baffert, and jockey Victor Espinoza.--, Includes bibliographical references (pages 213-215), June 6, 2015 -- Groundhog Day with Littleprincessemma -- Beware of the billies -- Speed laps and hoof spins -- Hard good-byes -- A move to the future -- Peaks and valleys -- Getting ready for the auction block -- Still on the move -- Going once, going twice, going not at all -- \"Man, that's too fast\" -- A boy named Bob -- The charm and the appetite -- \"Jumpin' Jehoshaphat, he's a freak!\" -- California, here I come! -- Glory...or bust? -- Was his mother a mudder? -- Everything's coming up roses -- Slop, O glorious slop! -- Into the pages of history
