The Kentucky Derby is 1 1/4 miles, the Preakness is 1 3/16 miles and the Belmont Stakes is 1 1/2 miles. His times were 2:01:1, 1:54:2, and 2:26:4 respectively.
Yes. The last triple crown winner was Affirmed in 1978, but before that Seattle Slew in 1977. There was another in 2015, American Pharaoh. Triple crown winners: Sir Barton (1919) Gallant Fox (1930) Omaha (1935) War Admiral (1937) Whirlaway (1941) Count Fleet (1943) Assault (1946) Citation (1948) Secretariat (1973) Seattle Slew (1977) Affirmed (1978) American Pharaoh (2015)
Secretariat's total race earnings were $3,316,808, the majority of that amount was from his Triple Crown wins. As a stallion, Secratariat earned far more than that.
That is an excellent question. As far as I know, history has not recorded the person that came up with the idea. But if I had to guess, it was probably invented at the same time that the hitter's Triple Crown was invented. If anyone out there can give a more concise answer, please do! I would like to know this myself!
Sir Barton Sir Barton became the first American Triple Crown winner in 1919, just about the time when it was becoming recognised as a series of races worth winning. He won the Kentucky Derby as a maiden (never winning a race before) and also won the Preakness just four days later. Then, he won another stakes race before winning the Belmont Stakes, which was at the distance of 1 3/8th miles then. He was amazing horse, though ran second to the brilliant 3year-old Man O'War the following year in a match race. Though, it is said he was suffering from hoof soreness at the time.
