Only eleven
horses have won the elusive Triple Crown. The
grueling schedule of three races in 5 weeks at
longer distances than most have run previously
in their careers is probably the most difficult
task any horse will face in his racing career.
Affirmed in 1978 still remains the last Triple
Crown winner. Sadly, the last Triple Crown winner
left alive, Seattle Slew, passed away on May 7,
2002.
