It is when a race horse wins all three big races of the year. The Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. It is all within 5 weeks and must be won back to back. These 3 races are the biggest stakes in the world. It is for 3 year old race horses.
Races for 3 year old thoroughbreds are restricted by entry conditions "for 3 year olds". The Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont) are the most commonly known races for 3 year olds.
Thoroughbreds have to be a minimum of two years old to race. All races have their own age requirements. There are races for two-year-olds, three-year-olds (which are the more widely known ones like the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont), three-year-olds and up, and four-year-olds and up.
