The Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York is tomorrow, June 6th. American Pharoah is the favorite and the 14ht horse since 1978 to try to win the Triple Crown.
The horse that cost only $10,000 did it again; California Chrome won the Preakness and can become the first horse to win the Triple Crown since 1978. He needs to win on June 7th at the Belmont Stakes to make history. Co-owner Steve Coburn, 61, doesn’t think there will be a Triple Crown winner in his lifetime, meaning he doesn’t think Chrome will do it.
This Saturday, May 17, is the second leg of the Triple Crown. The 139th running of the Preakness Stakes from Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The field and the post positions are set. Kentucky Derby winner ‘California Chrome’ will start in the third position.
