Triple Crown in The United Kingdom
In England, where the term Triple Crown originated with West Australian's three wins in 1853, it is made up of:
- the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, run over 1 mile at Newmarket Racecourse in Newmarket, Suffolk;
- the Epsom Derby, run over 1.5 miles at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Epsom, Surrey;
- the St. Leger Stakes, run over 1 mile, 6 furlongs and 132 yards at Town Moor in Doncaster, Yorkshire.
There is also a Fillies Triple crown for a filly winning the One Thousand Guineas Stakes, Epsom Oaks and St. Leger Stakes. The last winner of this was Oh So Sharp in 1985. In the past this was not considered a true triple crown as the best fillies would run in the Derby and Two Thousand Guineas. As this is no longer the case, the Fillies triple crown would now be considered comparable as the original.
In the 150 years that these races have been run, only fifteen horses have ever won the English Triple Crown, including the great Nijinsky II in 1970. Nijinsky II was only the second winner of the English Triple Crown since the end of World War I. For many years, it was considered unlikely that any horse would ever win the English Triple Crown again. In the winter of 2006/2007, however, trainer Jim Bolger was training his unbeaten colt Teofilo for the Triple Crown. However, the horse was withdrawn from the 2000 Guineas two days before the race after suffering a setback.
Since Nijinsky, only Nashwan in 1989 has won both the Guineas and the Derby, and in addition no Derby winner has even entered the St. Leger since Reference Point in 1987, although this is primarily due to the impact it would have on a horse's stud value, which would not be the case for a horse who had already won the Guineas.
