If you’re wondering how American Pharoah was able to end a 37-year old Triple Crown drought, the answer is he has an “extra gear” according to his trainer and he glides over the track. “I dropped the reins, and he just took off. I passed the wire, and I said, ‘I cannot believe that’” said Victor Espinoza yesterday of American Pharoah’s stunningly smooth run into horse racing history. “The way he hit the ground, you couldn’t even feel how fast he was moving” he said. “I tell you I had the best feeling ever when he crossed the first turn.” Watch AP’s thrilling performance yesterday at  Park
