American Pharoah Wins! Triple Crown Drought Ended

June 09, 2015

American Pharoah ends 37-year Triple Crown drought!

American Pharoah became the first horse since 1978 to win the Triple Crown when he won the 147th Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 6th.

Jockey Victor Espinoza pushed Pharoah to the front soon after the race started, and Pharoah outclassed the field, pulling away down the stretch to make history. Frosted finished second, and Keen Ice rounded out the top three.

The Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes champion, American Pharoah began Saturday as a 3-to-5 favorite in the morning betting line, and those were the odds when the race began. 

This episode's topics will include the history of the Triple Crown, comparison to other sport's Triple Crowns, the unique qualities of American Pharoah, and much more!
