Hi Bob,
You might want to correct this in your piece "American Pharoah, Why He Loses:"...If he wins the Triple Crown, he would have faced the most rivals ever by any Triple Crown winner......It seems to be written prior to the 2 withdrawals.

If Pharoah wins Saturday he will be 2nd in that category with 31. The record is 32, set by War Admiral when he won the Triple Crown in 1937. Hard to believe that many came out to challenge War Admiral? TJ
