Triple Crown Winner
He’s won the Kentucky Derby and he’s won the Preakness Stakes. Will American Pharoah make history and become a triple crown winner at the Belmont Stakes?
The last time we had a Triple Crown winner was decades ago when Affirmed took the much desired title.
Only eleven horses have ever attained this prestigious title and there have been many failed attempts since 1978 to win that Triple Crown.
It’s been said the horse that wins all three races has the right trainer, the right owner, the right jockey, the right pedigree, the right distance, and the right time.
I’m placing my bets on American Pharoah and putting that winning karma out there for this beautiful horse, his jockey Victor Espinoza , his trainer Bob Baffert and his owner Ahmed Zayat.
90,000 fans will be cheering American Pharoah on at the racetrack.
As I sip on my Bourbon breeze punch, I hope I’ll be watching history in the making!
Good luck American Pharoah! Make us proud and take that crown!
Update: In 2015 American Pharoah became the 12th winner of the American Triple Crown!
