Preakness winner Espinoza gets 3rd try at Triple Crown (The Associated Press)

Victor Espinoza couldn’t wait to get off American Pharoah. So, forgive Espinoza for acting like a man in a hurry to get the job done after the gate burst open Saturday to launch the 140th running of the Preakness. ”I just wanted to get it over with.” The Mexican jockey guided American Pharoah to a seven-length victory, keeping alive the bay colt’s bid to become the first horse since Affirmed in 1978 to win the Triple Crown. American Pharoah came from behind to win the Kentucky Derby.
