This Day in History: 2015-10-31

American Pharoah’s final race made history as the Triple Crown champion won the Breeders’ Cup Classic by 6 ½ lengths, and NBC posted the highest-rated Breeders’ Cup telecast in 20 years. A record 50,155 watched the event at Keeneland Race Course. With his dominating win, American Pharoah became the first horse to win racing’s “grand slam,” consisting of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, Belmont Stakes, and the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
