This Triple Crown season was a thrilling one, as American Pharoah captured all three jewels en route to the first Triple Crown title since 1978. The scenes at Churchill Downs and Pimlico were ones of excitement and jubilation, and the unbridled enthusiasm present all day at Belmont Park was topped off by a roaring crowd as American Pharoah crossed the finish line, a celebration unlikely to be surpassed in any sport.

American Pharoah has a funny tail. It isn’t a normal horse tail. It’s shorter. Much shorter.
