Zayat Stablesí homebred American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile) has been named Eclipse champion 2-year-old. The bay colt broke his maiden with an emphatic 4 3/4-length victory in the Sept. 3 GI Del Mar Futurity and added an equally impressive 3 1/4-length triumph in the Sept. 27 GI FrontRunner S. Forced to miss the GI Breedersí Cup Juvenile due to a bruised foot, the coltís championship credentials were bolstered when Texas Red (Afleet Alex), third in the FrontRunner, romped in his absence.
