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.
It was the fourth Derby win for American Pharoah's trainer, Bob Baffert, and the third Derby win for jockey Victor Espinoza, who won it for the second year in a row. Espinoza also won the Derby for Baffert aboard War Emblem in 2002. He's just an amazing trainer, said Espinoza.
