Triple
Crown Horse Betting
Santa Anita Park - This year's
racetrack of the Breeders' Cup
The Breeders' Cup Classic is
considered the most important race in the series of
Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships event. This
race has produced nine Horses of the Year in its first 20
running.
The Kentucky Derby is the
first leg of the run for the Triple Crown, horse racing's
greatest honor. To win the Triple Crown, a horse must first
win the Kentucky Derby, then the Preakness Stakes, and then
the Belmont Stakes.
Only eleven horses have won the elusive Triple Crown. The
grueling schedule of three races in 5 weeks at longer
distances than most have run previously in their careers is
probably the most difficult task any horse will face in his
racing career. Affirmed in 1978 still remains the last
Triple Crown winner. Sadly, the last Triple Crown winner
left alive, Seattle Slew, passed away on May 7, 2002.
