They are referred to as the Triple Crown. If a horse wins all three races in one year, he is called the Triple Crown winner.
Yes. The Triple Crown races are for three year olds only.
The Triple Crown is a combination of three races The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes
Chrysler sponsored the Triple Crown from 1987-1993. They paid a $1 million dollar bonus to the horse with the best overall record in the three races and would have paid $5 million to the winner of the Triple Crown had there been one (there wasn't).
The three races that make up the Triple Crown are the Kentucky Derby, the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness. The Derby is the longest race out of the three.
The best racer that ever lived, Secretariate.
Yes.
A triple crown winner is one who wins the batting average title, the runs batted in title and the home run title all in one season. The last triple crown winner was Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. A Triple play occurs in baseball when a team records three outs on a single play. The last triple play was Troy Tulowitzki's unassisted triple play on April 29, 2007. Pitchers also have a triple crown. A triple crown pitching winner leads the league in wins, strikeouts, and ERA.

The Triple Crown, or respectively the Kentucky Derby, The Preakness, and The Belmont Stakes, are exclusively for three-year-old Thoroughbreds. Because the distance increases with each race it is harder for the horse to complete The Triple Crown. Last winner was 'Affirmed' in 1978, he was euthanized at the age of twenty six after an injury to his pastern caused him to suffer from laminitis. And actually, most of the horses that have run these races live well into their teens and many lived well into their thirties.
