Triple Crown Records
The name "Triple Crown" wasn't coined until the 1930s, by sportswriters Charles Hatton after Gallant Fox's 1930 sweep - but it was Sir Barton who was the first horse to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes all in the same year. Although their dates have varied wildly on the calendar for years, it was in 1931 that the current dates were set for the series as well as the distances. Over 5 weeks, three year old colts and fillies had to run 10 furlongs in the Derby, run 9.5 furlongs just two weeks later in the Preakness and a grueling 12 furlongs in the Belmont Stakes three weeks after that. Only 12 horses have managed to hack it over the nearly 100 year period of the series in real life, while only 1 horse on Seeing Stars has managed it.
Below are all the past winners and winning times. This will be updated on a yearly basis as each Triple Crown is run.
