Triple Crown Winners

Triple Crown Winners provides a fact-filled, yet succinct overview of horse racing's Triple Crown races and the horses that have achieved the ultimate feat of winning all three races in a single season.

The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness Stakes, and The Belmont Stakes, run over a period of five weeks every spring, are the three most prestigious and history rich horse races held in the United States. Each race dates back to the 19th Century, but since 1919, only thirteen horses have won all three of them in succession, thus completing horse racing's Triple Crown.

This book is not meant to be an exhaustive historical accounting of the races and the thirteen Triple Crown winners.

However, it provides a colorful, brief historical rundown featuring the following nuggets of information:

• Overviews of all three Triple Crown races and their traditions
• Sections about each horse that's won the Triple Crown
• Summaries of the two longest time periods between Triple Crowns

The book cuts right to the chase and provides the reader with an entertaining starter pack of information as possible about the three Triple Crown races, and the horses (and their trainers and jockeys) who've gone down in history as Triple Crown winners.
