American Pharoah Becomes First Horse to Win Triple Crown and Breeders' Cup Classic
By Michael Shamburger
American Pharoah won the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday afternoon. He is the only horse to claim both a Triple Crown and Breeders’ Cup Classic in history. In what was his last race, Pharoah didn’t disappoint as he distanced himself from the field down the final stretch winning by at least six lengths.
With American Pharoah's Breeders' Cup Classic win, each of the last 5 Triple Crown winners have won the final race of their career.
