American Pharoah’s Triple Crown year to lead Eclipse Awards (The Associated Press)
Even though American Pharoah’s racing career is over, a couple of more accolades almost certainly await. Last year’s Triple Crown winner is the overwhelming favorite for horse of the year and 3-year-old male honors when the Eclipse Awards are handed out Saturday night at Gulfstream Park. American Pharoah became the first horse to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes since 1978.
