Submitted by ub on

For the third time in four years, Belmont Park will play host to a Triple Crown hopeful when American Pharoah attempts to add the 147th running of the Grade 1, $1.5 million Belmont Stakes tomorrow the final and most demanding leg of the series, to his victories in the Kentucky Derby and in the rain-drenched Preakness.

No horse has completed the Triple Crown since Affirmed in 1978. But that 36-year drought, one of the most famous could finally come to an end at the Belmont Stakes here in New York.

American Pharoah’s owner Ahmed Zayat syas he's confident because he’s the best-moving horse he has ever seen.
