The Triple Crown is one of the most famous horse races, with millions of dollars up for grabs every year. It consists of three races: The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness Stakes and The Belmont Stakes. These races take place every year between May and June at Churchill Downs, Pimlico Race Track and Belmont Park respectively. The Triple Crown is so popular because it has been around for over 100 years now, with many winners going on to become legends in their own right.
