Now a regal-looking 5-year-old, the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner flashed his brilliance of two years ago by overwhelming a talented field and winning the $10 million Dubai World Cup this past Saturday. ”I was just trying to keep my balance and not move my body,” Espinoza said after winning the world’s richest race. A year ago, it was American Pharoah – with Espinoza riding – who swept the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes to become the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years.
