Because the winner of the race gets a blanket of roses, which is very well known and connected with the race. The winner of the Preakness gets a blanket of black-eyed susans (actually yellow daisies with their centers dyed brown, as black-eyed susans are not in season at that point in the year) and the winner of the Belmont gets a blanket of white carnations.

No. Only three year old thoroughbreds can enter the derby, so they can only enter once.

Yea, he won the 1992 Kentucky Derby riding Lil E. Tee.

If you are referring to their number in the race, then yes. Obviously, their number will vary from race to race as they have different post positions for different races.

1) Kentucky Derby: 1 1/4 miles (on a 1 mile oval track)

2) Preakness Stakes: 1 3/16 miles (on a 1 mile oval track)

3) Belmont Stakes: 1 1/2 miles (on a 1 1/2 mile oval track, the longest dirt oval in America)

Secretariat holds the world dirt course record for 1 1/2 miles, which he earned by winning the Belmont Stakes (by 31 lengths) and the Triple Crown in 1973. He still holds the record by 2 full seconds over the next fastest Belmont stakes time.

A horse (cold, gelding or filly) may only run in the Kentucky Derby at the age of three-years-old.

So the answer is that a horse can only run once.

That's what makes it such a special win.

Citation, the Triple Crown winner of that year. Citation was ranked number three of all time by "The Blood Horse' poll.

The racehorse Smarty Jones won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness in 2004, and placed second in the Belmont Stakes. He was retired to stud and is (at last report) at the Northview Stallion Station in Peach Bottom, Pennsylvania.

To get ready for riding horses, you need to be well protected. This, of course, means getting a riding helmet that fits you. Next, you have to choose normal clothing. When choosing clothing, always consider what type of riding you will be doing. Are you practicing dressage? Show jumping? English riding? In this case, Horse companies often make specialized clothing, such as jodhpurs and such. But, if you are going trail riding, you need to choose comfortable clothing, that will protect you from the elements, and IS NOT, I repeat, IS NOT BAGGY. They don't need to be too tight, but baggy clothes are a recipe for disaster in any case when riding, as they can catch on your saddle as you mount/dismount. As for fashion, leave that at home. Fashion IS NOT important when riding, your safety comes first. This means leave all that pretty, dangly but annoying jewelry at home, along with your expensive designer outfits. Also, when going trail riding, make sure that your legs are protected from rubbing against the saddle and causing sores, as well as from other things such as trees, branches, and bushes as you ride. Oh, and make sure your pants have a VERY GOOD and sturdy crotch seam. You'll be sorry if they don't! When choosing shoes, go for riding boots, or if you don't have any, wear cowboy boots or tennis shoes. When you need to tell your horse to go, it will not be a very good situation if your wearing your flip-flops, or 'oh-so-cute' high heels, so leave them at home. Also check to make sure it is easy for you to get your foot out of the stirrup with whatever you are wearing. That could be very important if you find yourself in a stick situation. Leave all your cool accessories at home. There is not a lot of room to mess with your sunglasses, cool chains, or dangly jewelry. Just save that for another time.

Answer

It's important to be safe when riding, think of safety more than style.<br /><br />Jodphurs or breeches= No baggy clothes they can get caught on the saddle while riding, if you dont have any jodphurs or breeches then long legging will do. Also make sure your underwear is strong round the crotch area as riding is bumpy.<br /><br />Comfy t shirt= Any thing your comfy in, glittery or shiny tops arn't exactly ideal, they could spook the horse and arnt ideal for riding.<br /><br />Jumper/Cardigan= Depending on what the weather is like, if its quite warm wear a thin jumper or cardigan or none at all. If its cold then wear a thicker jumper.<br /><br />Hat=Make sure you have a nice fitting hat, a way to check your hat fits is to shake your head forward and back and if it slips LOTS then you need a smaller hat. It's ok if it slips a tiny bit but make sure its tight on.<br /><br />Gloves= Sometimes the reins can be hard on your hands, make sure you have some comfy protective riding gloves that stop your hands from getting sore.<br /><br />Boots= You can wear the small ankle type or the larger type that are like larger tight fitting wellingtons. If you wear ankle type either wear chaps or have jodphurs with a stirrup on the bottom.<br /><br />Body protecter= If your jumping/cantering/galloping or hacking then its best to have a body protecter. There is a possiblity you can fall off, if you fall off and you don't have a body protector then you can hurt yourself more than what you would have if you was wearing one. Body protectors cant stop the injury totally but it can stop it from being to severe.<br /><br />Sock= It's better to wear thick socks when riding especially in the winter. Its stops your toes and feet from going numb and much more comfy.

Usually what I wear is a nice fitting t-shirt, riding pants (that fit just right, not to long and not to short), half chaps, riding boots, riding gloves, and or course a helmet. Never ever wear baggy clothes unless your not riding around horses. Because sometimes the can get like caught on the saddle.

Looks like the right spelling in your question to me.

Sandy Koufax won the Cy Young award three times. In 1963 for the Dodgers he went 25-5 with 306 strikeouts and a 1.88 ERA. In 1965, he won his second Cy Young going 26-8, with 382 strikeouts and a 2.04 ERA. His final Cy Young was the following season in 1966. He went 27-9, had 317 strikeouts and finished with a 1.73 ERA.

In all three Cy Young seasons he led the league in wins, ERA and strikeouts giving him the triple crown each year. In 1963, not only did he win the Cy Young, but he won the NL MVP.

I was born on Derby Day in 1947 and have been trying to find out what time the race began. (It is called "post time") My parents told me that I was "breaking out of the starting gate at the same time as the horses on that day." They crossed the finish line but I'm still running the race.

The track size for the Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park is a mile and a half, making it the longest dirt thoroughbred racetrack in North America.

some to slow down others if they win to celebrate

No female jockey has ever won the Kentucky Derby. In fact, only five female jockeys have ever ridden in the Derby. Julie Krone was the first female jockey to win a Triple Crown event, the 1993 Belmont Stakes aboard Colonial Affair.

The Belmont Stakes is held at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York on the second Saturday in June.

The Kentucky Derby is the first Saturday in May, which is two weeks before the Preakness and three weeks before the Belmont Stakes.
