A Triple Crown Winner? What is that? I'LL TELL YOU! A Triple Crown Winner is a horse that can win the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes, which are 3 races that are ran in a span of 5 weeks. Each longer than the last and pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to achieve. Our last winner, Affirmed, won in 1978, that is 37 YEARS AGO! 32 horses have tried and number 32, American Pharoah, achieved the impossible. http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/06/us/belmont...index.html The Triple Crown is the most challenging, rare, and impossible title to get in the ENTIRE SPORTS Industry! I can't explain how excited I am to be able to witness history that was in the making today. I didn't think we would ever live to see another and I am so proud!

While I am incredibly glad you find it an amazing thing, I feel compeled to point out that it did not in fact, achieve the impossible, given a horse did it 37 years ago however, woo! horses! racing! woo!

Looking for ward to Pharoah's future performances! There's another animal they're certainly going to try and clone. To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.

OOH! I love that idea! ^^ If I can ever get an elemental pony, I'm already coming up with names! Wind Pony-Silver Charm (named after the first horse who got me into the Triple Crown) Fire Pony-Man O War or Secretariat Earth Pony-American Pharoah, OF COURSE! Water Pony-?? Lightning Pony-?? Ice Pony-?? Kirin-??

Why is this amazing feat starting to go down after I post! No no, not good! Did anyone else see the races? What did you think!? I honestly thought I would never see another Triple Crown happen and thought it couldn't be done. I missed watching the Kentucky Derby and Preakness but I did see the Belmont. When I watched, I got the sense of deja vu as I watched Pharoah pulling away from the pack. I've been researching the Triple Crown since 1997 and I know about all 11 horses who had won and seen many clips of each of their races. The feeling felt so much like seeing Secretariat run his race in 1973. I know Pharoah didn't win by the margin that Secretariat did but it looked like he could of gotten a bigger lead if he had more time to run.

He actually ran the last 1/4 of the race faster than Secretariat, and his total time was only two seconds slower than Secretariat's time. { Wiki ~ Tumblr } Until I die I'll sing these songs On the shores of Babylon Still looking for a home In a world where I belong Where the weak are finally strong Where the righteous right the wrongs Still looking for a home In a world where I belong -- Switchfoot "Where I Belong"

While I grew out of my horse obsession, it made me really happy when I saw that headline in the news. Zhavi Streetrunner Cost ya t'keep me quiet. Master of ic posting once every few months.

They did not, but it's stuck like that anyway. And then his name was "misspelled"... to the correct spelling of the actual word... on his Triple Crown blanket. I know horses can't read, but I'd find that constantly distracting if I were the owner. Apparently they've reserved both spellings so no other horses get the name in the future. Amazing achievement, little horse named by the internet generation! Wiki
