The race went as planned - Zayat Stable's overwhelming 4-5 favorite American Pharoah bested the field of eight in the 1 3/16 mile race on a wet, sloppy track - let the talk of the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed 37 years ago commence! 30-1 longshot Tale of Verve rallied for second, an astounding seven lengths behind the winner, followed by Divining Rod at 12-1 odds in third and the 7-2 third choice Dortmund in fourth.
