Victor Espinoza on American Pharoah: 'He's the Star, I'm Just the Pilot' [EXCLUSIVE]

"It's all about him. He's the star and he's going to put on the show. I am just the pilot," said Jockey Victor Espinoza of the Triple Crown contender, American Pharoah. "And whatever makes him happy, that's going to be it. If he's not happy he's not going to perform. American Pharoah has to be in a good mood," Espinoza said at the unveiling of the commemorative original painting entitled "American Pharaoh" ("The Dream Team") by artist Susan Sommer-Luarca at KTCHN at The OUT Hotel in New York last week.

Tigers, Horses, Majors, Triple Crowns, Oh My!

Tiger Woods won't be riding American Pharoah at any upcoming horse races, but Woods and American Pharoah are both chasing greatness. Woods still has three majors remaining this year while American Pharoah can still win the triple crown.
