American Pharoah won the Belmont Stakes Saturday and the Triple Crown. American Pharoah is the 12th horse in history to win it. The last horse to win the Triple Crown was Affirmed in 1978.

American Pharoah won the Belmont Stakes in  2:26.65. Coming in second was Frosted and third was Keen Ice.


The jockey that rode American Pharoah to all three wins was Victor Espinoza. Espinoza came close to riding a Triple Crown winner in 2014 with California Chrome. California Chrome came up short in the Belmont Stakes last year.
