The Triple Crown consists of three races for three-year-old thoroughbred horses and that achievement has been rare in recent years.

It is so difficult due to that horses have to be 3 years old (officially all racing horses have their birthday on January 1st of the year), the short time span in between races (14 days off vs. the typical 30-60 days off), and the differences in track length.

There have only been 11 triple crown winners. None since 1978. However, Big Brown may have the best chance in a long time this coming Saturday.
