The Triple Crown
The Triple Crown is made up of 3 races
The Preakness Stakes
The Belmont Stakes
To win all of these races within such a short period of time makes a Triple Crown winner something very special. So special that we haven’t had a Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. At this rate I may die before I ever see a Triple Crown Winner!
In 2009 there was no Triple Crown Winner. But Birdstone has a lot to be proud of. This sire that stands at stud at Gainesway, in his first crop, has produced a Kentucky Derby winner in Mind that Bird and a Belmont Stakes winner in Summer Bird.
Not a bad year for Birdstone I’d say!
