Secretariat won the Triple Crown in 1973 and still holds it to this day. He averaged 37.7 mph in the Triple Crown races which were enough to set a new record in each of the three races. He won The Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths. He...

It Didn't Take So Long This Time!

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 9 Jun 18

For what seemed like ages and eons all I heard every Kentucky Derby time was how "there hasn't been a Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978." That's a lifetime for some! To put it into personal perspective, I was 18 when...

Did You Watch The Preakness Yesterday?

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15960) • United States 22 May 16

I was fairly sure that Exaggerator was going to win because of the muddy track. I’m sure it was disappointing for Nyquist fans, who had been hoping for a Triple Crown win. Unfortunately, Nyquist suffered his first loss. The...

I'm Blown Away: The Kentucky Derby. Wow!

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15960) • United States 7 May 16

I just had the most fascinating evening. I watched the 142nd running of the Kentucky Derby festivities from 4PM until 7:30PM and loved every minute of it. First of all, one reason that I have always been fascinated by horse...

The Champion That Taught Us to Misspell

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 31 Oct 15

Growing up in Louisville, I've always heard a lot about horse racing. I've never been a big fan of it, however, although I can't ignore the Kentucky Derby. Every January they start talking about the Kentucky Derby hopefuls, and...

Belmont Stakes is Tomorrow

bostonphil @bostonphil (4459) • United States 8 Jun 12

Just a reminder that The Belmont or Belmont Stakes is tomorrow, Saturday. Will we see a Triple Crown? It's been a few years since we were this close. I believe that Smarty Jones was the last horse that won both The Derby and The...

The Preakness is Today

bostonphil @bostonphil (4459) • United States 19 May 12

I realized yesterday that The Preakness is today. I plan to watch it. I am rooting for the horse that won The Kentucky Derby, I'll Have Another. The Derby was a great race and I hope the same for The Preakness. If I'll Have...

Even after having had hoof problems Big Brown is still in the race. Do you think he can win it? Is he really Triple Crown material? I hope so. He is a great horse. What do you think?

rosettaresearch @rosettaresearch (1285) • United States 3 May 08

Today is the first Saturday in May. That means its the Kentucky Derby -- the first jewel in the Triple Crown. Do you think we will finally have a Triple Crown winner this year for the first time since 1978?

Ii's the first Saturday in May. That means it's Derby time. It's the first race of the Triple Crown. These three horse races are, arguably, the most exciting sporting events each year. There hasn't been a Triple Crown winner since...
