From reading articles, I understand that American Pharoah lost his first race because he freaked out first time he saw a crowd and basically poured out all his energy before the race started. My question is this -- if the Derby Day crowd were to instigate the same sort of meltdown, would those of us out here know about it? What is the best way to find out if he is having a melt down? I feel like I will need to enter two different sets of bets and then cancel one set depending on whether he melts down or not. Is this a crazy viewpoint? It seems to me he either runs his race and wins.....or he doesn't run his race and then this race becomes much more wide open.
