Types of Horse Racing Triple Crowns

[RacingFan1992]

I see that the big publicized triple crown is the derby, preakness and belmont. What surprised me was that there are a lot of triple crowns in horse racing and not just flat racing or in the U.S. but also harness and in other countries. If you find a racing triple don't hesitate to post it. I found these so far.

U.S. Classic Triple
Kentucky Derby
Preakness Stakes
Belmont Stakes

Filly Triple/Tiara (Changed from year to year)
Kentucky Oaks/Pimlico Oaks (same as BESS)/Coaching Club American Oaks
Kentucky Oaks/Black-Eyed Susan Stakes/CCAO
Acorn Stakes/Mother Goose Stakes/CCAO

Canadian Triple Crown
Queen's Plate- Prince of Wales - Breeders Stakes

Wando won it in 2003

The Canadian Fillies have one too

English

2,000 Guineas- Epsom Derby- St Leger
Camelot almost won it last year

Nijinsky was the last winner
Sea the Stars didn't try the last leg in 2009 he probably would have won

I know Chile and Argentina have triple crowns too

I think one triple that would be the hardest to win is not the American Classics but the New York Triple Handicap seems to be the hardest because you have older horses and higher weights along with distances from 8 - 12 furlongs.
