Out of the largest legacy airlines, Delta has the highest combined pay rate, followed quite closely by United. Delta compensates their pilots at $212.97 an hour, on average, with United's average rates at $209.40. The remaining legacy airlines aren't too far behind, however.
Only twelve horses have won the Triple Crown: Sir Barton (1919), Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935), War Admiral (1937), Whirlaway (1941), Count Fleet (1943), Assault (1946), Citation (1948), Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977), Affirmed (1978), and American Pharoah (2015).
If Funny Cide wins tomorrow's Belmont Stakes, he will become horse racing's first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. He would also be the first gelding, or equine eunuch, to earn the honor. What's the point of snipping a thoroughbred's manhood, especially since a gelding has no stud value?
