Its long list of winners features plenty of fillies which were to make a huge impact, either on the track or as foundation mares, but none more illustrious than Pretty Polly and Sceptre, the winners respectively in 1903 and 1908. Sceptre went on to win the further top flight 2000 Guineas, 1000 Guineas, Oaks and St Leger, while Pretty Polly took the 1000 Guineas, Oaks and St Leger before establishing a highly effective female line. No-one expects a modern-day Cheveley Park winner to make an impact in the longer classics, or indeed against the colts, but it is still a hard race to win, as Aidan O=Brien wryly commented after landing the race for the first time in the 21 years he has been training the Ballydoyle horses.

  • The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing
    The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing Victor Espinoza riding American Pharoah at the Kentucky Derby On June 6th, 2015, American Pharoah (that’s the horse’s name) won the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred horse racing. The Triple Crown consists of three races; the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont. A horse that could win all three races is very, very unusual. All three races are for 3-year old thoroughbreds, run on dirt tracks, and require that the horses carry the same weights (colts and geldings carry 126 pounds, fillies carry 121 pounds). The three races, however, are of different lengths. Kentucky derby – 1.25 miles Preakness - 1 and 3/16 miles Belmont Stakes – 1.5 miles 1. Order these three races from the shortest distance to greatest. This a list of all of the Triple Crown winners since the races began. In 2015 it had been a long time since a horse won the Triple Crown.
