∙ 11y agoNo, in 1975 the second place finisher for the 1st, and 2nd legs did not come in second the 3rd time
That happened in 1978 when Alydar finished second to Affirmed in all three Triple Crown races.

∙ 11y agoIt's a bit of an awkward question, as the Triple Crown is not a single event but, as the name suggests, a series of three races. But no, his combined time in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes is far and away the fastest of any Triple Crown winner. Each were--and still are--track records.
