American Pharoah will try to win the Triple Crown on Saturday, when he takes on seven rivals in the Belmont Stakes. There will not be a record crowd at the Belmont Stakes to watch American Pharoah's bid to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1987. Long lines at rest rooms, betting windows and crowds packing an aging Long Island Rail Road platform made for an unpleasant experience after California Chrome's Triple try came up short.
