American Pharoah gives Zayat biggest prize in racing (The Associated Press)

The gleaming Triple Crown Trophy that went unclaimed for nearly four decades was in the firm grasp of American Pharoah’s owner, Ahmed Zayat. Like the rest of the racing world, Zayat has dreamed of being part of a Triple Crown. Now he owns the 12th horse to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont, and the first since Affirmed in 1978.
