We are now just 11 days away from answering the question of whether or not American Pharoah, the winner of the first two legs of the elusive Triple Crown, will in fact give the sport what it has been searching for, for nearly four decades. Some people think that the Triple Crown is now, nearly unattainable. This, however is not the case. It just so happened that thirteen chances in a row have been squandered. Many of the reasons for this can actually be explained. I'll Have Another never got to race in the Belmont, Big Brown had a crack in his leg during the race, others were caused by jockey error, California Chrome last year, Silver Charm in 1997. However, the biggest reason why the Triple Crown is a possibility this year is that it is yet another year. No two years produce the same horses, who all feel the same at the same time. The biggest question now is, is there any horse that is better than American Pharoah? That question is what I think will decide the Triple Crown. Bad fate and poor luck has had its run, its finally the time when the best horse wins the Belmont. So, is American Pharoah the best horse in the field? Well, many think so. People say that if it has not happened in 13 straight tries, will it ever happen again. My answer is this, no unanimous favorite had one the Derby for 19 years in a row. Which means horses in similar positions, do not always win when they are supposed to either. Good luck AP.
