∙ 12y agoNo, in 1975 the second place finisher for the 1st, and 2nd legs did not come in second the 3rd time

∙ 11y agoIt's a bit of an awkward question, as the Triple Crown is not a single event but, as the name suggests, a series of three races. But no, his combined time in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes is far and away the fastest of any Triple Crown winner. Each were--and still are--track records.

The Kentucky Derby is the first leg of the Triple Crown, a horse that wins the Kentucky Derby, The Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes becomes the Triple Crown Winner
Because it is the first race in the Triple Crown and if a horse wins it then there is a possibility for a Triple Crown winner.
Secretariat

Seattle Slew was a Thoroughbred racehorse who won the Triple Crown in 1977, becoming the tenth horse in history to achieve this feat. He was known for his speed, stamina, and competitive spirit, and went on to have a successful career as a sire.
The horse that won the TC in 1919 was Sir Barton
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.
