There have been 11 triple crown winners in horse racing history. the first was sir barton in 1919. the 9th, 10th, and 11th were secretariat in 1973, seattle slew in 1977, and alysheba in 1978. the 2nd to the 8th all won between 1931 and 1949. if you visit churchill downs in louisville, Kentucky, the have a tile up on the walls surrounding entrances to the race track with every winner from 1875 to 2011. one of the alley way entrances has the 18 tiles from 1931 to 1949 when the dominant number of triple crown winners is posted (six in all). that is why that alley way is called "triple crown alley". if you are a big racing fan and you ever visit it like i did, i guarantee you will get goose bumps.
