Chenery, Cauthen: American Pharoah has the Triple Crown look (The Associated Press)

Secretariat owner Penny Chenery and Affirmed jockey Steve Cauthen believe American Pharoah is that special horse capable of ending a 37-year Triple Crown drought. Ron Turcotte agrees. Though American Pharoah must succeed where 13 others have failed and conquer the 1 1/2-mile Belmont Stakes on June 6, his runaway victory Saturday in the Preakness convinced both that his best race is ahead of him. The caveat for American Pharoah is how he might fare against a field of horses who bypassed the Kentucky Derby and Preakness to run the series’ longest race.
