Plenty will be rooting for American Pharoah to become the first horse since Alleged in 1978 to land the Triple Crown. But those looking to take on the odds-on favourite have legitimate reasons for doing so. All 12 of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winners since 1979 that have attempted the 1m4f of this final leg have failed and American Pharoah's breeding suggests he will struggle to stay the distance. If that proves to be the case then FROSTED could spoil the party. He gave the Preakness a miss after staying on strongly for fourth in the Kentucky Derby finishing ahead of Materiality, Keen Ice, Mubtaahij and Tale Of Verve and the Godolphin colt looks sure to be thereabouts at the finish
