  Triple Crown
The Triple Crown is a term sometimes used to describe the three-tiered crown or tiara formerly used by popes.
The Triple Crown is also a sporting competition in which the rugby teams of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland play against each other from January to March in a series of rugby internationals.
Wales was not a crown, hence the use of triple crown as a title when four nations were actually involved in the competition.

 Clip Clop Thoroughbred Racing Association
Thoroughbred racing (also known as flat racing) is a big industry in the world, though it can take many years to understand all the facts and trends in racing.
Thoroughbreds must be 100% pure to be registered and allowed to race (no non thoroughbred even way back when, though I don't think we have to worry about that in Clip-Clop).
Claiming races are when you enter your horse in a race in which all horses in the race may be purchased by any other of the horses owners for a set price, like $20,000.

 Kentucky Derby Summary
Racing historian Joe Estes has divided the Kentucky Derby story into three periods: 1875 to 1898, 1899-1914, and 1915 onwards, with the first period highlighted by the appearance at Churchill Downs of the finest American thoroughbreds, both from Kentucky and the great stables of the northeast.
One of the racing stars of this early period was Isaac Murphy, an African-American jockey who rode Buchanan to victory in 1884, Riley in 1890, and Kingman in 1891.
The race, known as "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" for its approximate time length, is the first leg of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing in the United States.

 Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing (Triple Crown for short, but the term is also used in other sports, and thus the full name should be used when it could cause confusion) consists of three races for three-year-old thoroughbred horses.
While this is not declared a Triple Crown officially, it is unique as a trainer that he is the only trainer to win the three races in a calendar year with different horses.
Triple Crown Productions was formed in 1986 with ABC; prior to that, the individual racing associations made their own deals with the TV networks (ABC and CBS).

In 1918, twenty six horses entered the race and it was run in two divisions providing for two winners that year.
