Triple Crown Training: Where American Pharoah Learned to Be a Racehorse Act I

Kevin and J.B. McKathan have been training young horses since 1989. In 1999, they built the McKathan Brothers Training Center, situated upon 200 acres in Citra, Fla.
Marion County, Fla. is an equine-rich area and one of only four major horse racing centers in the world with more than 600 Thoroughbred farms. The last two Triple Crown winners, American Pharoah in 2015 and Affirmed in 1978, learned how to race in Marion County as 2-year-old Thoroughbreds.
In this episode, journey into Marion County, Fla. and explore why this successful, limestone-rich region has become the go-to nursery and primary education facility for young Thoroughbred racehorses.
