About Triple Crown

Triple Crown in horse racing denotes a term that refers to three races that are combined into one achievement. When a horse wins all three races in one season, it is crowned the Triple Crown winner, going down the history as the best as well as the Legend in horse racing sports. It is considered a difficult race not just in horse racing but also in all sports championships.

English Triple Crown

Aladar Kollar, a horse racing betting enthusiast, and expert observes that the English Triple Crown has been around since 1809. Only a few horses have won the coveted title. It is interesting to note that for the last fifty-two years no horse has been crowned the title winner. The last was Nijisky fifty-two years ago, when the horse broke the record, becoming the first to be crowned the winner since 1935. Although the Triple Crown title remains elusive, online horse racing betting enthusiasts have not had a break, they have been enjoying wagering for their favorite horses ever since it became possible to bet online. This is what Aladar Kollar had to say about horse racing online betting. “Bár az English Triple Crown nem volt bevéve 1970 òta, a lòverseny fogadás online nem unalmas miòta a fogadòk interneten is tehetik tétjeiket. Az akciò csomagolva van a bukmékerek bôkezü esélyeinek ajánlatával. Az online lòversenyfogadִás valosággá válásával a szerencsejátekosok fogadhatnak minden olyan lòversenyre ami hozzájárul az English Triple Crownhoz, tudván, hogy kevés az esélye, hogy egyetlen lò mind a három versenyt megnyeri.”

This is a sentiment that many horse racing betting experts would agree with. It is based on historical facts, even watching horse racing movies such as Secretariat and Phar Lap will give you an indication that those who bet on a horse winning all the three races and eventually winning the crown are betting on a rare occurrence.

American Triple Crown In the American Triple Crown horse race, for a horse to be crowned the winner, it is required to win the Kentucky Derby first, thereafter two weeks emerge the winner in the Preakness Stakes and three weeks later take the Belmont Stakes, making it a triple win. It’s worth noting that in all of the history of the Triple Crown horse racing, only thirteen horses have ever achieved the feat. This shows the difficulty of the race given that it has been running for close to one hundred and fifty years; the first time that the three races existed simultaneously.
