American Pharoah “ 美 国 法 老 ”
TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPION AMERICAN
PHAROAH
The world had been waiting for a Triple Crown champion
for 37 years when American Pharoah, already winner of the
first two legs, the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes,
lined up in the 2015 Belmont Stakes.
His majestic win along with five other wins at the highest
level made American Pharoah one of those rare horses that
transcend the everyday racing results and take their place in
equine history.
The China Horse Club took the decision to invest heavily and
become a part of the American Pharoah success story, buying
some highly credentialed broodmares to send to the stallion
hoping to produce another generation of racing superstars.
Part of that plan stretched back before American Pharoah
had achieved his Triple Crown success and included the
purchase of dual group one winning mare Iotapa (by
Afleet Alex) at the 2015 Keeneland November sale in the
United States. Iotapa had placed second to champion mare
Beholder in the Group 1 Santa Anita Oaks before going on
to win two Group 1 races herself, the Vanity Handicap and
the Clement L Hirsch Stakes.
As the mare went through the Keeneland sales ring, bidding
soared to a massive USD2.8 million and we are pleased we
were able to secure such a successful racehorse that has since
visited the great American Pharoah. We are pleased to now
have, on the ground, a perfect bay colt foal born in March
2017 and we have high hopes for this foal that is a product
of two great champions.

The Club also bought a daughter of champion sire War
Front, Loudly, for USD325,000 in foal to American
Pharoah and she produced a colt foal on March 6 this year.
Dundalk Dust, a daughter of the Danzig sire, Military,
foaled a colt at the end of March and Flattermewithroses by
AP Indy’s son Flatter produced a filly by American Pharoah
in mid-February 2017.
不能不懂的美国三冠王“美国法老”
2 0 15 年，在 美 国 三冠 王 的 最 后一场 赛 事 ——贝尔蒙 特 锦 标 赛
上，全世界都在引颈长盼“美国法老”（American Pharoah）是
否能够在是场赛事上再下一城，问鼎缺席了长达37年的美国三
冠王。结果他不负众望，以大热姿态成为三冠王大满贯得主。
向来识英雄重英雄的CHC，决定砸下巨资延续“美国法老”的
传奇故事，为此大手笔收购优秀出色的繁育母马与“美国法老”
进行配种，将这匹传奇马王的优良基因传承下去，培育下一世
代的 赛 场霸主。这项 计 划 随 着“美国法老”荣登美国三冠 王 宝
座，以及俱乐部在2015年美国基兰11月拍卖会上成功购入两项
一级赛冠军母马“由她吧”（Iotapa）（马王“飞翼艾力”（Afleet
Alex）之子嗣）而告阶段性完成。
“由她吧”在赢得两项一级赛，也就是荣耀让磅赛和金文贺殊
锦标赛之前，曾一度于G1圣塔安妮塔橡树赛中落败于“凝神”
（Beholder）而屈居亚军。当这匹出色的母马出现于基兰拍卖
会上时，立即引来各方买家热烈竞标，最终由CHC以280万美元
（约1, 9 0 0万人民币）成 功将 她收 入 麾 下，作为与“美国法老”
配对的繁育母马。好消息是，今年 3月，“由她吧”与“美国法
老”的子 嗣已 经 诞 生，相 信尽 得父系与母系优良 血 统的 他 定能
在未来有一番大作为。
俱乐 部 更 花费 3 2 . 5 万美 元，用于“喧 腾”（L o u d l y）（名驹“战
争前线”（War Front）的女儿）与“美国法老”的配种，喧腾”
亦于 3月 6日成 功 诞下子 嗣 。此 外，与“美 国 法 老”进 行 配 种的
还有“单色”（Danzig）（种公马“邓大大”孙女、名驹“军事家”
（Military）之女）以及“予我玫瑰”（Flattermewithroses）（种
马AP Indy孙女、Flatter之女），她们亦分别于2017年3月底以
及2月中旬分别诞下一匹小公马和一匹小母马。
