Summary

When American Pharoah won the American Triple Crown and the Breeders<U+2019> Cup Classic in 2015 he became the first horse to win the “Grand Slam” of American horse racing, by winning all four races.

With American Pharoah, Shelley Mickle tells the story of this beloved horse<U+2019>s life from birth to his historic achievement of becoming the twelfth Triple Crown winner
