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.
American Pharoah will go for the Triple Crown on Saturday, having won the Derby and having dominated the Preakness. But history is not on the horse's side, given that more horses have experienced near misses than have won it all in total, and that's just taking into account the close calls since the last win.
