Uk Triple Crown Race Course Site

The Triple Crown of Hurdling is one of the biggest attractions of the jump season in the UK. It's highly prestigious and comes with some of the best Grade 1 hurdling races that the country has to offer. The prestige is underlined even more by the fact that since 2010 it's still been running successfully. The English Triple Crown Winners is a three-race competition for Thoroughbred racehorses. The English Triple Crown consists of the 2000 Guineas Stakes (at 1 mile), The Derby (at 1½ miles), and the St. Leger Stakes (at 1 mile 6 furlongs and 127 yds) although the distances have varied throughout the years. Runners who have won all three races in one year are in bold.

US Triple Crown Race Calendar Rescheduled Due To Coronavirus

One of the sectors affected by the COVID-19 outbreak is the sports betting industry. The pandemic caused numerous horse racing events lined up this year to be postponed to a later date.

However some horse tracks whilst closed to spectators are continuing to hold races with track owners benefiting from the hugely profitable gambling revenue.
Whilst undoubtedly enjoying an unexpected monolopy on the American sports betting market, there are growing concerns within the industry that despite reassurances from the owners of many of America's horse tracks there are considerable risks to jockeys and track employees.

As major track meetings have been cancelled or postponed, lesser known tracks around the US have daily races drawing billions annually in best place via both via online gaming apps and off-site gambling sites.

So to the Triple Crown, for many the definition of American horse racing, three races held at historic tracks — Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes – traditionally held each May and June.

The 146th Kentucky Derby Presented will be rescheduled from May 2, 2020 to September 5, 2020 and the 146th Kentucky Oaks will be rescheduled from May 1, 2020 to September 4, 2020.

Officials say they are working to find a new date for the Preakness Stakes, the second jewel of horse racing's Triple Crown.
The Maryland Jockey Club and Stronach Group announced that whenever the Preakness is run in 2020, it will go on without the infield activities that had been one of the race's biggest traditions. The Preakness was scheduled for May 16 in Baltimore.

No decision has yet been made on the Belmont Stakes, which is scheduled for June 6 at Belmont Park in New York. How to win scratch offs every time machine.

However it seems unlikely the grand finale of the US race season, The Breeders' Cup, will be postponed and should go ahead as planned on Saturday 7 November, this year being hosted at Keeneland.

There are few more events in sports that are more exhilarating than that of the Triple Crown in horse racing. The Irish Triple Crown was heavily inspired by the English Triple Crown.

While the races that make up the Irish Triple crown started at various times, it wasn't until 1921 that all three races were a part of the season, and the Irish Triple Crown was born.

The Irish Triple Crown is comprised of the Irish 2,000 Guineas, the Irish Derby and the Irish St. Leger.

Unlike Triple Crown races in most countries, the Irish Triple Crown races all take place at the same track – Curragh Racecourse. Located in Newbridge, County Kildare, Ireland, Curragh is home to all five Irish Classics, and the course dates all the way back to 1727.

Only two horses have won the Irish Triple Crown – Museum in 1935 and Windsor Slipper in 1942.

The Irish 2,000 Guineas

The 2,000 Irish Guineas was first run in 1921 and is the Irish equivalent of the 2,000 Guineas run in England. Taking place after it's English counterpart, the Irish Guineas usually includes horses that raced in the English version, with 9 such horses capturing victory in both.

The leading horses in the 2,000 Irish Guineas often go on to race in the following month's St. James Palace Stakes. The Irish 1,000 Guineas is also run during the same week of the 2,000 Guineas and is restricted to fillies only. The race takes place every year in May.

• Leading Jockey: Tommy Burns, Sr. – 5 wins (1921, 1923, 1939, 1947, 1948)
• Leading Trainer: Aidan O'Brien – 11 wins (1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017)
• Leading Owner: Sue Magnier – 10 wins (1999, 2001, 2002, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017)

Triple Crown Senior

The earliest version of the Irish Derby was called the O'Darby Stakes, and was run in 1817 until it was discontinued after the 1824 race. Another rendition known as the Curragh Derby was started in 1848, but again, was short-lived.

The Irish Derby as it is known today was created by the 3rd Earl of Howth, the 3rd Marquess of Drogheda and the 3rd Earl of Charlemont in 1866. The Derby became a major international race in 1962 when the prize money saw a substantial increase.

Joe McGrath, a founder of the Irish Hospitals Sweepstakes, combined the race with the sweepstakes, creating what was known as the Irish Sweeps Derby.

The Irish Derby was sponsored by Budweiser from 1986-2007, and it's current sponsor, Dubai Duty Free, took over sponsorship duties in 2008. The Irish Derby currently takes place on the second day of the three-day Irish Derby Festival in either late June or early July.

• Leading Jockey: Morny Wing – 6 wins (1921, 1923, 1930, 1938, 1942, 1946)
• Leading Trainer: Aidan O'Brien – 12 wins (1997, 2001, 2002, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2017)
• Leading Owner: Michael Tabor – 13 wins (1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2017)

The Irish St. Leger began in 1915 and was originally restricted to only three-year-old horses. The first horse to ever complete the St. Leger Double, winning both the English and the Irish St. Leger, was Royal Lancer in 1922.

The St. Leger doesn't restrict a horse's age beyond three-years-old, so there have been repeat winners of the Irish St. Leger unlike in the other two races.

Triple Crown Challenge

The race has been sponsored by the Comer Group since 2014 and takes place on the second day of the Irish Champions Weekend in September.

• Most Successful Horse: Vinne Roe – 4 wins (2001, 2002, 2003, 2004)
• Leading Jockey: Morny Wing – 7 wins (1920, 1923, 1930, 1938, 1942, 1945, 1947)
• Leading Trainer: Vincent O'Brien – 9 wins (1959, 1966, 1969, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1980, 1985, 1988)
• Leading Owner: Seamus Sheridan – 4 wins (2001, 2002, 2003, 2004) Susan Magnier – 4 wins (2007, 2008, 2015, 2017)

The Curragh Racecourse, or The Curragh as it is commonly referred to, is Ireland's most important and prestigious racecourse. The name 'Curragh' comes from the Gaelic word 'Cuirreach,' which translates to 'the place of the running horse.'

The first race on record at Curragh was in 1727. The Irish Derby was first held here in 1866, and in 1868, the course was officially declared a horse racing and training facility by an act of Parliament.

The Curragh is home to all five of the Irish Classics and offers the highest purses and quality level of horse racing in Ireland.

Place in History

In horse racing, there are three major Triple Crown renditions; the U.S. version, the U.K. version, and the Irish version. History has shown that the Irish Triple Crown has been the toughest feat of the three to conquer.

The Triple Crown in the U.S. has been achieved 12 times. Horses in the U.K. have accomplished the trifecta 15 times. The Irish Triple Crown, however, has only been reached by two horses, making it by far the hardest of the three to be reached.

So when it comes to betting, if the stats teach us anything, it's that betting against any horse in contention of achieving the trifecta is one of the safest bets out there.
