The Triple Crown is the most difficult trophy to capture in all of sports. It has only happened on 11 occasions and not since 1978. A 3-year-old Thoroughbred must win three races, the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes, at three different tracks and over three different distances in 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.
