We all have at least a passing familiarity with thoroughbred racing, since the three largest events in thoroughbred racing are televised every year. These three events are known as the Thoroughbred Triple Crown and are comprised of the Kentucky Derby, the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness.

The Triple Crown races are run on a flat, dirt track. In most instances, the horses will pace themselves and finish the race with a powerful surge of speed. There are some instances where a horse will have enough speed that they will be able to win the race from the starting gate to the finish line.
