American Pharoah gets time to 'chill' back in California

Last updated: 8/30/15 7:26 PM

One day after owner/breeder Ahmed Zayat intimated that

American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile) might have run his last race in defeat

in the Travers (G1), Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert said Sunday that plans

have yet to be determined.

"We'll just get him back there (California) and let him chill for a little bit,"

Baffert said. "He needs to

chill.

"We'll just play it by ear. Ahmed Zayat, it's his horse. My job is if I see

something, if he were to come up with something I didn't like, then I'd tell

him. Nothing has shown up today. We're glad that he looked fine and he's

healthy. I didn't see any problem there."

winner's performance at the Spa, please follow the link to the TwinSpires blog.
