Description
Sir Barton was the first horse to win the American Triple Crown of horse racing before the three races that consist of the Triple Crown were even known as such. He did this in 1919 with very little break in between races. In fact, the Preakness Stakes, which is the middle race of the Triple Crown, was ran 3 days after the Kentucky Derby. No horse nowadays would be allowed to race so close together and even the 14 days between Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, makes a lot of possible contenders skip the Preakness to go on to the Belmont 3 weeks after that. Sir Barton was awarded the Triple Crown win posthumously, after his death in 1937.
