First Triple Crown Winner since Affirmed in 1978. I was lucky enough to be at Belmont today to see American Pharaoh win the Belmont Stakes. He looked as if he had the class at both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness but the Triple is a tough competition as the 37 year gap between winners shows and Belmont is a tough course for the third race. So congratulations to American Pharaoh – a worthy winner and to trainer Bob Bassert who finally came good
