Triple Crown Glorious Highlight of Every Racing Season
Racing’s Triple Crown highlights the horse racing year, and is outrageously popular the world over. Television ratings grow higher each year, and millions are bet on the outcome of all three races.
The decade of the double zero (2000 to date) has revealed a tremendous interest in the prestige races held in the United States, and the most prestigious of them all are the races collectively known as the Triple Crown of horse racing. The loyal horse racing fans and the recreational dabbler in the ponies have both been awesomely struck by the majesty, history and tradition of the Triple Crown.
The racetracks that host the magnificence of horse racing known as the Triple Crown have a long and distinguished history all their own. The first leg of the Triple Crown of horse racing, which features the best three year old colts/geldings and fillies in the world, is the Kentucky Derby. The Kentucky Derby is run at Churchill Downs in Lexington, Kentucky and it drew over 100,000 spectators for the 2007 edition. The Kentucky Derby, run on the first Saturday of May each year, is succeeded by the running for the black eyed Susan blanket, the Preakness. Of the three races which comprise racing’s Triple Crown, the Preakness is the shortest race in point of distance. It has received tremendous adulation over the past decade, and its viewership continues to rise year after year.
The Belmont Stakes is a grueling mile and a half challenge for the horses, and is a fitting final leg of racing’s Triple Crown. The Belmont Stakes, which emanates from Belmont Park on the Queens/Nassau border in New York, has always been an endurance contest for the horses. The horses entered into each of the three Triple Crown races deserve all the praise and hearty oats they receive!
