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.
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.
