The three races that make up the American Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing are:

• The Kentucky Derby, held at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
• The Preakness Stakes, held at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland.
• The Belmont Stakes, held at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.

These races are for three-year-old Thoroughbreds and are traditionally run in May and early June each year
