Triple Crown Horse Racing Details
The Triple Crown is a trio of races held in May and June every year
for 3-year-old Thoroughbreds and represents one of the greatest
achievements in horse racing today. To earn the Triple Crown title, a
horse must win each leg of the three-race series: the Kentucky Derby,
the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. And each year, a new crop
of 3-year-olds excites the nation with the prospect of a Triple Crown
winner.Winning the Triple Crown has been accomplished just 11 times in its long history, with the latest winner, Affirmed, completing the elusive trifecta over 30 years ago in 1978. Eighteen horses have come close since then, winning two of three races. The most recent near miss came in 2008, when Big Brown won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes but did not finish the Belmont Stakes – a race aptly known as the “Test of the Champion” because of its 1 ½ mile distance. Competing in three races in just over a month is difficult enough. But with the recent trend of trainers entering fresh horses in the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes to compete against the Kentucky Derby winner, winning the Triple Crown will be an incredible feat.
