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.
He, Baffert and much of the horse racing community hopes the third time is the charm. Let's take a look at the jockey-horse combination for two other highly regarded contenders in the 2015 Belmont Stakes. According to Odds Shark, American Pharoah is the odds-on favorite to win the Belmont Stakes at 5-6. However, Frosted and 30-year-old jockey Joel Rosario are in the mix at 11-2. Frosted had won all four of his races this year heading into the Kentucky Derbyâincluding the Wood Memorial.
