Yes. The Triple Crown races are for three year olds only.
It's for 3 years old horses
They are 3 years old. All horses are officially a year older every January 1st. So, regardless of the date of their birth, the Triple Crown races are for 3 year olds.
The Kentucky Derby is the first Saturday in May. Two weeks later is the Preakness Stakes, and three weeks following that is the Belmont Stakes.
Because the Kentucky Derby is for horses classified as three years old. This means they can only run once, when they are three years old.
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.
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.
The only age at which any hosrse can run in th KY Derby is 3 (three) yrs old, as is the case with the other two Triple Crown races--the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes.

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.
