Yes, Ruffian won the Triple Tiara.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Triple_Tiara_of_Thoroughbred_Racing

The Triple Tiara consists of the Mother Goose Stakes (which will be run June 27 this year), the Coaching Club American Oaks (July 25), and the Alabama Stakes (August 22), although the Alabama replaced the Acorn Stakes in 2003. Unlike the Triple Crown, where all three races are run at different tracks, the first two races are run at Belmont Park, with the Alabama Stakes being run at Saratoga.

And will whoever keeps editing this to delete this information give it up already? Just because you don't want it to be right doesn't make it less right. I'm studying horses professionally, and I've been a fan of racing (and Ruffian) since I was nine years old. Go read any of the books on Ruffian if you don't believe there's a Triple Tiara. "Ruffian: Burning From The Start" is a great one, as is the Thoroughbred Legends book. Both mention the Triple Tiara.

A furlong = 1/8 of a mile = 220 yards

Mine That Bird [foaled May 10, 2006] was the winning horse in last year's Kentucky Derby. The winning date was May 2, 2009. The winning jockey was Calvin H. Borel [b. November 8, 1966]. The winning time was 2 minutes 02.66 seconds.

The weights due to be carried by Grand National runners range from a minimum of 10 stone (140lb) to a maximum of 11 stone 10 pounds (164 lbs). This includes the weight of the "tack" (saddle etc) as well as the jockey.

No, Northern Dancer didn't win the Triple Crown.

Clear and can be blue purple or dark colors

You need a bridle with a bit he's comfortable with (need to control his head and turns when he's racing around the barrels), and a western saddle with a breast collar on him to hold the saddle in place. Leg boots are good too to protect his tendons just in case he may trip on himself by accident. Just make sure to not wrap them too tight, as this can disrupt blood flow to and from his feet.

Each year, about 35,000 thoroughbreds are born and registered in the Jockey Club of American. Every one shares the dream of one day making it, and winning the Kentucky Derby. Out of these 35,000, only about 15,000 will make it to the track. Of those 10,000 only 20 can run in the Kentucky Derby, and out of those 20, only one horse can come out victorious. Therefore, the Kentucky Derby is one the most prestigious races in American, and with good reason, too.

well in 2007 Curlin lost the Kentucky Derby ( i think her placed third) but won the preakness and lost the blemont to the filly Rags to Riches.

Technically, a mare is defined as a female horse over the age of three. A filly is a female horse three years or younger. Since the Kentucky Derby is a race for 3-year-olds only, no mare has ever won. However, three fillies have won the Kentucky Derby: Regret (1915); Genuine Risk (1980); and Winning Colors (1988).

There is no dress code at Longchamps Racecourse. You can wear whatever you want to but you can be kicked out if you are not wearing a shirt or shoes.

There was a study done in Portland, Oregon to find the average length of a car. They wanted to see what size parking spaces would be needed to accommodate people.


They measured 390 vehicles (Front bumper of the body to the rear bumper) and found the average length of 13.51706036745407 feet (4.12 meters). This is the average size for midsized sedans/coupes (combustion engines).
A vehicle over 16.40419947506562 (5.0 meters) would be considered a large sized truck or SUV (Usually Commercial sized heavy duty diesels, like the Ford F-350-450).

There was no rose garland for the Kentucky Derby in 1869. The first Kentucky Derby wasn't run until 1875. The rose garland didn't become part of Kentucky Derby tradition until 1896.
