Best Answer

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.
