Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing
The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing is a prestigious series of three horse races for three-year-old thoroughbreds in the United States. The races include the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes. Winning all three races in a single season is a rare achievement that highlights a horse's speed, stamina, and versatility.
To win the Triple Crown, a horse must first triumph in the Kentucky Derby, typically held on the first Saturday in May. This is followed by the Preakness Stakes, usually run two weeks later, and finally, the Belmont Stakes, which takes place in June. Only a select few horses have accomplished this feat throughout history.
