A † designates a Triple Crown Winner.
A ‡ designates a filly.

^*In 1968, Dancer's Image, ridden by Bobby Ussery, trained by Lou Cavalaris, Jr., and owned by Peter Fuller, finished first, but was disqualified after a post-race urine sample revealed traces of a banned drug in the horse. The drug in question - Phenylbutazone - is now legal for use on racehorses in many states, including Kentucky.

^**The largest crowed in the History of the Kentucky Derby - 164,858. The old record was 163,628 in 1974.

Notes:

D. Wayne Lukas swept the 1995 Triple Crown with two different horses.
The Kentucky Derby is the oldest, continuous sporting event in the United States.
The 2008 second place winner, Eight Belles, marks the first time that any horse has died in the Kentucky Derby. The filly came in second place before breaking both front ankles on the cool-down. She was immediately euthanized. Churchill Downs has since announced that a magnolia tree will be planted in the garden of the Kentucky Derby Museum for Eight Belles and that her remains will be interred at its base. Churchill Downs has also announced that it will rename the La Troienne Stakes (Gr. III) in honor of Eight Belles. There are also plans for a ceremony on Derby Day 2009 in her memory.
2008 Kentucky Derby Winner Big Brown did not wear the blanket of roses he earned in the race because of the fact that he hates flowers. Kent Desormeaux (Big Browns jockey) did not want to upset the horse and so would not let the Winner's Circle handlers place the roses on Big Brown.

In the United States, the three races that compose the Triple Crown are:

The Kentucky Derby, run over 1 and 1/4 miles (2.01 km) dirt track at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Preakness Stakes, run over 1 and 3/16 miles (1.91 km) dirt track at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland.
The Belmont Stakes, run over 1 and 1/2 miles (2.41 km), the longest dirt track in thoroughbred racing, at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.
