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.
Tale of Verve ran second to American Pharoah at the Preakness. No horse that ran in the Preakness has won the Belmont since 2005, when Afleet Alex won both races. Afleet Alex also is the most recent favorite to win the Belmont. Madefromlucky is the other horse in the Belmont field.
