Can Derby winner Orb capture first Triple Crown since 1978? It’s not as far fetched as you might think

May 6, 2013

Before the Kentucky Derby, the odds of there being a Triple Crown winner was set at 6.5-to-1.

But after Orb, the favorite, captured the first leg on Saturday, it suddenly looks like we might be on the verge of seeing the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978.

Three months before most of us had even heard of I’ll Have Another, his trainer, Doug O’Neill, showed enough confidence in his horse to place a $100 bet on him to win the Kentucky Derby.

O’Neill got great bang for his buck, and that confidence was rewarded on Monday with a huge payday.

There will be no Triple Crown winner in horse racing again this year. I’ll Have Another—the winner of both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness—was scratched from this weekend’s Belmont Stakes with a left leg issue.

It’s a gigantic headache for every oddsmaker.

Will I’ll Have Another become the first horse since Affirmed in 1978 to capture the Triple Crown?

Odds suggest “no,” but it’s closer than you might think. The Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner is the likely favorite to win the Belmont Stakes on June 9.
