The Triple Crown is the most difficult trophy to capture in all of sports. It has only happened on 11 occasions, with the last time occurring in 1978. A 3-year-old Thoroughbred must win three races - Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes - each at a different distance, over the span of five weeks.
Will we witness it in 2015 with American Pharoah? Tune in to NBC Sports on Saturday, June 6 for live coverage of American Pharoah’s quest to win the third leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes.
