No horse has ever won the Triple Crown twice because they can only race in the Triple Crown races as three year olds.
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.

Man o' War never won the Triple Crown. In fact, he never ran in the Kentucky Derby. He did win the last two jewels of the Triple Crown, the Preakness and the Belmont. Man o' War, even to this day, is considered the greatest racehorse who ever lived. The only reason, they say, that he didn't win the Triple Crown, is because his owner refused to enter him in the Kentucky Derby. Even today, people know the name Man o' War. He lived to be thirty years old, and died of a failing heart. He was buried whole in a casket lined with his racing colors. He was the first to ever be buried this way. As many as 2,000 people attended his funeral, lining up for one last look or a pat on the neck and racing fans all over the country mourned him. Today his grave is marked by the famous Man O'War statue by Haseltine at the Kentucky Horse Park. At his feet his sons are buried, including his greatest son, War Admiral.

With the creation of other American breeds such as the Quarter Horse and American Paint, these same Thoroughbred bloodlines are found in the family tree of many of these stock horses. Three Bars, a Thoroughbred stallion is considered one of four foundation stallions that all AQHA and APHA registered horses can trace back in their pedigrees.
A cave man.
Seabiscuit (one word) was a famous Thoroughbred racehorse during the early Depression, becoming American Horse of the Year in 1938 at the age of 5. He is famous for beating 1937 Triple Crown winner War Admiral, who like Seabiscuit was a grandson of the famous Man O' War.
Secretariat is widely regarded as the fastest race horse in history. In 1973, he won the Triple Crown, setting track records in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes that still stand today.
