American Pharoah started training yesterday at Del Mar Race Track

The American Pharoah arrived at Del Mar Race Track on Tuesday to begin training for next month’s Haskell Invitational in New Jersey.

American Pharaoh made the roughly 100-mile journey early in the morning, settled in and then jogged around the track in a morning workout that drew a large media contingent.

American Pharoah isn’t expected to race at Del Mar, with its summer season starting on Thursday. Instead, the 3-year-old colt will train at the seaside oval in preparation for the Haskell on Aug. 2 at Monmouth Park. He’ll return to Del Mar after the Haskell.
