American Pharoh has won the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown and is the 14th horse to go into the final race with a chance to win all three races since `978 when Affirmed won the last Triple Crown.

The race was run in a downpour which was nice to see as it remains true to the spirit of horse racing which is an outdoor sport and the weather plays an integral part in a race.

The downpour may have also dampened the spirit of potential rioters, as it appears the race went off without any distractions. Not surprising that the rich supporters of horse racing can summon up the necessary political clout and police protection to see that their entertainment goes off without a hitch.
