Horse racing in North America is a huge industry, worth many billions of dollars. Racehorses in North America started running from the year when the horse was only 2 years old. The biggest leagues in North America are the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont. These three prizes are only for 3-year-old horses, collectively known as “The Triple Crown”. So far only 13 horses have won all three in a year. These are Sir Barton (1919), Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935), War Admiral (1937), Whirlaway (1941), Count Fleet (1943), Assault (1946), Citation (1948), Secretariat (1973). , Seattle Slew (1977), Affirmed (1978), American Pharoah (2015), and Justify (2018).

The best in history is probably Secretariat, which in 1973 won all three Triple Crown with a new record speed that has not been broken so far, Kentucky Derby, ran 1 1/4 mile (approx.) over 2000m) at 1’59 2/5″, Preakness (over 1900m) with 1’53 2/5″ Everyone is convinced that this is the real speed of Secretariat’s victory instead of 1’54 2/ 5″. To this day, this issue has not ceased to be debated.In 2012, thanks to advanced technology, Pimlico management allowed the Preaknes 1973 horse to be reviewed through film to determine the speed, and agreed. Note, set Secretariat’s exact speed is 1’53”, which is the new record (?) of the Preakness tournament.
