The selection of horses to run in the Triple Crown begins with horses meeting what are called "race conditions" for the Kentucky Derby; conditions stipulate the age, gender and past performance requirements each horse must meet to enter a given race. The Kentucky Derby is written for 2 year-olds, fillies and colts, [here it says something like "...non-winners of x number of races..." and/or "winners of x number..."] The winner of the Kentucky Derby gets to run in the Preakness, and the winner of the Preakness gets to run in the Belmont. So the "selection process" begins with being eligible to run the Derby.

What are the odds of a jockey winning horse's racing triple crow in three different horses?

Winning the Triple Crown with three different horses is an exceedingly rare achievement in horse racing. The odds are influenced by various factors, including the quality of the horses, the competition, and the jockey's skill. While no jockey has won the Triple Crown with three different horses, only a few jockeys have even managed to win it once, making this feat exceptionally difficult. Overall, the likelihood is extremely low, given the complexities of racing and the rarity of the Triple Crown wins themselves.
