Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing

In the United States, the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, commonly known as the Triple Crown, is a title awarded to a three-year-old Thoroughbred horse who wins the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. (Some other countries also have series of horse races called the Triple Crown),

Secretariat holds the stakes record time for each of the three races. His time of 2:24 for  miles in the 1973 Belmont Stakes also set a world record that still stands.
