In the history of US Thoroughbred racing, only 12 horses have won the Triple Crown:
The Kentucky Derby -- "The Run for the Roses"
The Preakness Stakes -- "The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans"
The Belmont Stakes -- "The Test of the Champion"
Yesterday, June 6th, 2015, American Pharaoh was the first horse to achieve this feat since Affirmed in 1978!
