Filly becomes the first horse to win the Triple Crown in over 35 years!
The long awaited Triple Crown win happened on Saturday, when Kentucky Derby winner, Filly, became the first horse to win the Belmont Stakes in over 35 years. The ten year old horse was ecstatic as she crossed the finish line, becoming a part of racing history.
The first leg of the Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby, is a 1.25 mile race that takes place at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. The race is open to 3-year-old Thoroughbreds and typically attracts a large field of entries. On May 7th, Filly proved her dominance by crossing the finish line first, beating out 19 other horses.
The second leg of the Triple Crown is the Preakness Stakes, which takes place at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The race is 1.9 miles long and is open to 3-year-olds willing to pay a $250,000 entry fee. On May 20th, Filly once again demonstrated her prowess by winning the race by 2 ½ lengths and qualifying for the Belmont Stakes.
The third and final leg of the Triple Crown is the Belmont Stakes and it's also known as "the test of champions" because it's a mile and a half long and is open only to horses who have won either the Kentucky Derby or Preakness Stakes. On June 10th, Filly made racing history by becoming the first horse to win the Triple Crown in over 35 years! After crossing the finish line first, she raised her hoof in triumph as crowds of spectators cheered her on. In addition to being an amazing athlete, Filly is also an extremely popular horse with fans all around who are excited to see what she will do next.
