American Pharoah Wins the Triple Crown. There had not been a winner of a Triple Crown since 1978 when Affirmed won it.

American Pharoah had been favored between -130 and -150. Frosted and Materiality each had odds between 5-1 and 6-1 with the second shortest odds.

Frosted came in second. Keen Ice, a big long shot, finished third.

The ratings for this year's Belmont Stakes was anticipated to be among the highest in years.
