Challengers lining up to take on American Pharoah in Belmont (The Associated Press)
There’s no shortage of challengers looking to upend American Pharoah in the Belmont Stakes and spoil his chance to win the Triple Crown. Two more horses have been added to the mix, raising to 10 the number of rivals the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner could face in the 1 1/2-mile Belmont on June 6. A field of 11 would match last year’s, when Tonalist won the Belmont and ended California Chrome’s Triple try.
