I thought CCTV Channel 9 out of China reporting 4th - if I heard it correctly.

What is the China government trying to hide? Was there a horse called Tiananmen in the top 3?

My bad, California Chrome was tied for 4th

Just checking as at times the China government doesn't like some words especially as they don't like to acknowledge the Tiananmen Square problems of June 4, 1989.

I will watch the full race courtesy of your post later. I missed the full CCTV 9 news report as it was almost at the end of it.

I was hoping for Chrome as the story to now would for sure have made another movie or two.

The owner is somewhat bitter at the loss

Another year, another chance for theTriple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing since 1978 as American Pharoah has a chance after 13 horses failed on the Belmont Stakes after winning the first two races.

Congratulations to American Pharoah, owner, and jockey! Way to go in winning the Triple Crown for the first time since 1978!

The first time I've posted this trophy that was presented today for the first time in 37 years.

Congratulations to the owners (and those who made a huge wager) of horse Justify for becoming the 13th Triple Crown winner.
