At Belmont, a chance for another spoiler? (The Associated Press)

Marylou Whitney, philanthropist, horse owner and socialite, was thinking back to one of the most spectacular Triple Crown upsets in history: her homebred Birdstone’s victory over Smarty Jones in the 2004 Belmont Stakes. Whitney and husband John Hendrickson plan to be at Belmont Park on Saturday, hoping to see American Pharoah become the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years. Waiting to spoil it all will be Hall of Famer Nick Zito.
