What Happened To The Only Horse That Beat American Pharoah
American Pharoah won 9 of 11 races and swept the first Triple Crown in 37 years. But one horse beat him when it mattered — a 16-1 longshot named Keen Ice who had won exactly ONE race before that day. What happened next is even crazier: a 22-month losing streak, a quiet retirement to stud, and then his son Rich Strike shocked the world at 80-1 in the Kentucky Derby. Two of the biggest upsets in modern racing, connected by one bloodline.
