The Triple Crown is a prestigious award given to a three-year-old Thoroughbred who wins a triplet of prestigious races. The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness, and finally the Belmont Stakes. This is so difficult that only 13 horses have ever achieved such an honor.
The purpose of the 4-H Triple Crown Series is to increase opportunities for youth to participate in horseless horse events and develop a sense of belonging and mastery.
