Justify ‘looking fantastic and ready to roll’ in Belmont
It is just three short years since the Baffert-trained American Pharoah became the first horse since Affirmed in 1978 and only the 12th horse in history to win the Triple Crown.
The Hall of Fame trainer can hardly believe his luck as he prepares to saddle another major candidate for the holy grail of the American racing so soon afterwards, with Justify set to go off a hot favourite to add to his May triumphs in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes.
