Does American Pharaoh win the Triple Crown today?

[Wild]

At 2-5 odds right now, I'm betting against him...although he has been the best 3 yr old in 2015 by far. Why?

1) He's running his third race in 5 weeks.
2) The horses in this field have all had 5 weeks rest
3) The horses in this field are no joke. Frosted and Materiality, particularly.

So how am I betting this race today? I'm keying Frosted to win. He ran a phenomenal race in the KY Derby, getting a terrible trip but coming back to run a game 4th. His performance in the Wood Memorial was still the best Prep performance of any 3 yr old. He is bred to get the 1 1/2 miles.

So....

$20 Win: Frosted
$5 exacta: Frosted w/ Materiality, American Pharoah
$1 Tri: Frosted w/ Materiality, American Pharoah w/ ALL

I'm all in on the talented gray horse today. If Pharoah beats me, I will tip my glass to the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years.

Damn. That was something to see.

I needed Pharoah to get a bad trip or be on his B-game to win my bets (which I would have)...but it's pretty awesome to see the Triple Crown won, and Baffert get it.
