American Pharoah won Saturday's Kentucky Derby beating Firing Line and Dortmund. The Preakness Stakes on May 16 will be next for the winner who is trying to become the 12th horse to win the Triple Crown. The last horse to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes was Affirmed in 1978.
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.
