The Triple Crown refers to three of the biggest races in American horse racing. The Kentucky Derby in Louisville, KY at Churchill Downs, the Preakness Stakes two weeks later at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, MD, and the Belmont Stakes in Elmont, NY (right next to JFK) three weeks after the Preakness. The winner of the Kentucky Derby traditionally will next race in the Preakness, and if he wins that race he will have a chance to win the Triple Crown with a win in the final leg, the Belmont Stakes. Through the over 150-year history of the races, only 13 horses have won the Triple Crown. It is one of the hardest accomplishments in sports, and a horse that can do it is typically worth tens of millions of dollars. (Thanks to Shane O'Neill for this awesome explanation)
The Virtual Indianapolis ARTCC, the Washington Virtual ARTCC, and the Virtual New York ARTCC invite you to join our Triple Crown Friday Night Operation that features the three cities where the races hold. That’s right! You might be put into a hold, but that might be the race!
