Horse Racing News :: American Pharoah won the Preakness Stakes

Posted on 2015-05-16 by Gooner

American Pharoah won the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, becoming the 14th horse to win the first two legs of the Triple Crown since 1978, the year of the last Triple Crown winner.

In pouring rain, American Pharoah claimed the race in dominating fashion. He was the third Preakness favorite to start from the rail since 1950. No horse had won from the rail since 1994.

At the Belmont Stakes on June 6, American Pharoah will try to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978.
