See How We Did Betting on Horse Racing for the Triple Crown

The Triple Crown is one of the most popular and biggest events for betting on horse racing for horseplayers and horserace handicappers. This event is popular among both serious handicappers who bet on horse races on a regular basis and those who only partake in occasional horse racing betting. While The Triple Crown is often thought of as a single united front, is not just one race, but instead it is made up of the Kentucky Derby, The Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes.
