The races in the Canadian Triple Crown are the Queen's Plate, the Prince of Wales Stakes, and the Breeders' Stakes. They are similar to their American counterparts in that each race is run over the same distance: Queen's Plate/Kentucky Derby, 1 1/4 miles; Prince of Wales/Preakness, 1 3/16 miles; Breeders'/Belmont, 1 1/2 miles. The main difference between the Canadian Triple Crown and the American Triple Crown is that in America the races are all run over dirt courses. In Canada they are run over 3 different surfaces: Polytrack, dirt and turf (grass).

The American Triple Crown races were in existence long before they became the Triple Crown. the governing body of horse racing at the time decided that the USA needed a Triple Crown for Thoroughbreds, as there was one already in existence in England where Thoroughbreds were originally created. The Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes were chosen due to their length and prestige.
Belmont is part of the triple crown. The triple crown is 3 races. Belmont, Kentucky Derby, and I forget the third at the moment.
