In the United States, the term "Triple Crown" usually refers to the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, a series of three Thoroughbred horse races for three-year-old horses run in May and early June of each year consisting of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. While Daily Racing Form writer Charles Hatton is commonly credited with originating the term to reference these races in 1930, they were referred to by that name at least as early as 1923.

  • In the United States, the term "Triple Crown" usually refers to the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, a series of three Thoroughbred horse races for three-year-old horses run in May and early June of each year consisting of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. While Daily Racing Form writer Charles Hatton is commonly credited with originating the term to reference these races in 1930, they were referred to by that name at least as early as 1923. Only eleven horses have ever won the Triple Crown, none since 1978. In 1973, Secretariat established the largest margin of victory in the history of American Grade 1 stakes races with a 31 length win. Of those eleven horses, Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons won the Triple Crown twice (the only trainer to do so), and an eleventh trainer, D. Wayne Lukas, scored a Triple Crown as a trainer in sweeping the 1995 races with different horses, the only individual in the Triple Crown to do so. Eleven jockeys have won the Triple Crown. The three American Classic Races are collectively known as the U.S. Triple Crown. As of the completion of the 2008 season, the races have attracted 3,889 entrants (a figure that counts a given horse twice if it enters two of the races). Of these, 274 horses have won a single leg of the Triple Crown, 50 horses have won two of the races (21 the Derby & Preakness, 18 the Preakness & Belmont, and 11 the Derby & Belmont), and 11 horses have won all three races. The 11 Triple Crown winners are Affirmed (1978), Assault (1946), Citation (1948), Count Fleet (1943), Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935), Seattle Slew (1977), Secretariat (1973), Sir Barton (1919), War Admiral (1937), and Whirlaway (1941).
  • アメリカクラシック三冠（Triple Crown of Thoroubred Racing）とは、アメリカ合衆国のサラブレッド平地競馬の競走のうち、5月から6月にかけて開催される以下の3歳限定競走のこと、またはその全てを制覇することを指すものである。 ケンタッキーダービー - チャーチルダウンズ競馬場で行われるダート1マイル1/4（10ハロン・約2012メートル）の競走。 プリークネスステークス - ピムリコ競馬場で行われるダート1マイル3/16（9.5ハロン・約1911メートル）の競走。 ベルモントステークス - ベルモントパーク競馬場で行われるダート1マイル1/2（12ハロン・約2414メートル）の競走。 アメリカ競馬のクラシック三冠は他国の三冠競走に比べて間隔が短く、例年5月1週目の土曜に開催されるケンタッキーダービーより始まり、2週後のプリークネスステークスが第2戦、その3週後のベルモントステークスが最終戦となる。 いずれも牡馬・牝馬・せん馬の出走が可能であるが、牝馬にはこれとは別にケンタッキーオークス、およびニューヨーク牝馬三冠（トリプルティアラ）路線が存在するため、牝馬がこの路線上に出走することはあまり多くない。
