Justify back at Churchill Downs after winning Triple Crown
Source: Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, KY. —
Triple Crown winner Justify has returned to Churchill Downs to rest as the track where the quest began prepares to celebrate the milestone.
Arriving just before a thunderstorm dumped rain over the area, a crowd of spectators watched Monday as the chestnut colt with a white blaze on his face exited a van after a midday flight from Islip, New York.
Justify became the 13th Triple Crown champion with Saturday's 1 3/4-length victory in the Belmont Stakes that improved him to 6-0 lifetime.
Justify's achievement follows 2015 champion American Pharoah, who was also trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert.

Great race Justify. Champion. Triple Crown!

My god, that is a good description!
Justify deserves to be both proud and arrogant. You can see it in his face!
What a beautiful stallion he is, 4th great grandson to Secretariat! 
And that is a great pic! 
After a race like that, a horse loses hundreds of pounds! 
Woah & yes it is a great picture!
But I was sure he could do it, he won his previous races under less than ideal conditions. I wish him some well deserved rest and I'm hoping that he comes to Saratoga - my home town - to participate in the Travers. That's not till August and would probably be the most exciting appearance since Secretariat back in the '70s! 
That would probably be the best thing for Justify anyway!
He was such a great horse!
I bet we've read the same book!
for turning down the White House invitation!
(he said if he wanted to see a horses ass, he'd have come in second place!)
