an amazing feat was accomplished today. For the first time in 37 years a horse has won the Triple Crown. American Pharoah took the lead within in three strides and never gave an inch, they tried to challage him at the turn but it was too late. Coming out of turn four he grabbed high gear and gained ground with each stride, finishing almost four lengths ahead. It was an awesome race to watch.

Awesome accomplishment!
Last one was what- Secretariat?
Affirmed was the last Triple Crown winner in 1978, before that it was Seattle Slew in 77' and Secretariat won in 73'
Very cool to see a horse finally get it done...

Geez, I haven't followed horse racing since since '78?!?
For those of you interested, here is Secretariat winning the Belmont in what is probably the most dominating fashion ever.

Anyone catch the prophetic implication of the name of the horse?
I'm old, seems like just last year that Secretariat won!!
Congrats to the winner and team !! Takes more than just a fast horse to win.

I'm not a big horse race fan, but it was fun to watch all three races and finally see history made, once again.
