On May 10th, someone named Azar Nuben filed an application with the USPTO to register the AMERICAN PHARAOH trademark in connection with clothing. The application claims use of the name in connection with shirts since December 5, 2014.

The amount of money and branding potentially available to a Triple Crown winner certainly makes the investment in a few trademark applications worthwhile.
The evidence of use submitted with the trademark application is below:
