What Was Burger King's King Doing At The Belmont Stakes?
Posted in: Uncategorized
American Pharoah may have taken the Triple Crown this weekend, but Burger King was also a winner at the Belmont Stakes.
The chain’s King character made an appearance at the race over the weekend, spending time with American Pharoah trainer Bob Baffert, who Sports Illustrated reported allowed the King into his box.
From SI: “Baffert likewise made a deal to allow a man in a Burger King costume to stand in his box during the race. (Baffert told me after the Preakness that he had been offered $150,000 to let the Burger King man near him for that race; the Belmont brought an undisclosed payment.)”
