In the UK the triple crown concerns three races. The true triple crown is the 2000 Guineas (8 furlongs), the Epsom Derby (12 furlongs) and the St Leger (14 furlongs). Not many horses have the versatility to succeed at three vastly different trips at the highest level. The closest any horse has come to winning the Triple Crown in recent years was Camelot who won the 2000 Guineas and Epsom Derby in 2012 but lost in the St Leger. Nijinsky was the last horse to win the Triple Crown in 1970.
