LOUISVILLE â Highly touted favorite American Pharoah, whose Egyptian-born owner had been a recent runner-up three times in the Kentucky Derby, lived up to the hype Saturday and won the 141 st running of the Derby.
It was the fourth Derby win for American Pharoah's trainer, Bob Baffert, and the third Derby win for jockey Victor Espinoza, who won it for the second year in a row. Espinoza also won the Derby for Baffert aboard War Emblem in 2002. He's just an amazing trainer, said Espinoza.
