A New Triple Crown Winner!! Empty A New Triple Crown Winner!!

Post by Original Quill Sun Jun 07, 2015 7:53 am

American  Pharoah becomes the first 3-year old colt in 37-years to win the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes today, to become the first Triple Crown Winner since Affirmed in 1978.

A New Triple Crown Winner!! JP-BELMONT-articleLarge

He joins 11 other horses to have achieved the title Triple Crown Winner.  Remember California Chrome almost did it last year?

Belmont is a half-mile longer than the other two tracks.  Add to that the rain in New York today, and it was a mudder track all the way.  But the horse with the crooked tail (he was bitten on the ass when he was younger) loves getting dirty, and he won impressively...going away.
