Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom is the favorite to win the final leg of this year’s Triple Crown. Animal Kingdom looks to become just the 12th horse to complete a Derby-Belmont sweep. Thunder Gulch last accomplished the feat in 1995.
Ridden by jockey John Velazquez, Animal Kingdom was given 2-1 odds in Saturday’s race. Derby second-place finisher, Nehro, goes off as the second favorite horse at 4-1.
