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.
Before American Pharoahâs victories last month, Zayat had watched horses he owned finish second in the Kentucky Derby three out of the last four years. In 2012, horses owned by Zayat finished second in each of the three Triple Crown races â the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes.
