It was a great story when American Pharoah became the first Triple Crown winner since Seattle Slew in 1978. But while it was a great story, most of us don’t know what it’s like to ride the horse. That is until now. Thanks to the magic of a GoPro camera, we now have that perspective.

Here’s a great video that shows what it’s like to ride American Pharoah at the Del Mar Race Track.

Fascinating.
