Pharoah in good shape

American Pharoah looked to be in good shape the morning after his loss in the Travers Stakes, with no decision on whether the Triple Crown winner will race again. Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert led the bay colt to fans outside the barn. They petted and fed the horse carrots and took pictures. American Pharoah spent Sunday at Saratoga before leaving early today for California. American Pharoah dueled with Frosted from the gate to the top of the stretch before being caught by late- running Keen

Ice and finishing three- quarters of a length behind. The loss ended an eight- race winning streak that featured the sweep of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont. Baffert says he would like to train American Pharoah up to the $ 5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Oct. 31 at Keeneland. It would be the colt’s final start before retiring to stud.

Stellar Wind won the $ 100,000 Torrey Pines Stakes for 3- year- old fillies by 4 1/ 4 lengths Sunday at Del Mar. Ridden by Victor Espinoza, Stellar Wind ran a mile in 1: 36.43 and paid $ 3, $ 2.20 and $ 2.10. Big Book returned $ 3.20 and $ 2.40, while Rattataptap was another 3 1/ 4 lengths back in third and paid $ 2.40 to show. Before his day job began, Espinoza rehearsed in the morning for his upcoming appearance on Dancing With the Stars. Stellar Wind is a daughter of Curlin, winner of the 2007 Preakness and Breeders’ Cup Classic. She’s trained by John Sadler. Since finishing fourth as the favorite in the Kentucky Oaks, Stellar Wind has rebounded to win the Summer Oaks at Santa Anita in June.
