American Pharoah Wears Triple Crown
Champion three year old American Pharoah became the first horse since Affirmed in 1978 to win the American Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes when he lead all the way to win the Belmont Stakes by five and a half lengths. Many horses have won the first two legs of the Triple Crown but failed at the final hurdle but American Pharoah's victory was never in doubt; American Pharoah is the twelfth horse in history to win the Triple Crown whose honour-roll includes legendary gallopers Secretariat, Citation and War Admiral.

Vale Doriemus
Former champion galloper Doriemus had to be euthanised on Sunday after he suffered a serious foot injury at Living Legends which has been his home since 2006. Originally trained in New Zealand by Jim Gibbs Doriemus was transferred to Hall of Fame trainer Lee Freedman in 1994. Doriemus became the ninth horse in history to win the Caulfield Cup/Melbourne Cup double achieving the feat in 1995 for Damien Oliver. Perhaps Doriemus' greatest performance was his nose-defeat by Might And Power in the 1997 Melbourne Cup in which he carried 57.5kg as a seven year old. Doriemus proved he was more than just a champion stayer with his superb victories in the Turnbull and Queen Elizabeth Stakes over 2000 metres. Doriemus was 24 years old.
Now watch some of the races which made Doriemus a champion.
