	Why 3-Year-Olds Rule the Triple Crown - And faster 4-year-olds don't get a shot. By Brendan I. Koerner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Like the Crown's other two jewels, the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, the Belmont is contested solely by 3-year-old horses.
		Famous races such as the St. Leger Stakes (first run in 1776), the Epsom Derby (1780), and the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes (1809), which make up the Old World's version of the Triple Crown, have always been limited to 3-year-old entrants.
		When the comparable American races started up (beginning with the Belmont in 1867), they were closely patterned on their English predecessors—the Kentucky Derby, for example, took its name from the Epsom Derby, which in turn took its name from an English aristocrat, Lord Derby.

		In her three-year-old career in 1904, she won the 1,000 Guineas in record time and in the Oaks ran like an empress leading a victory procession facing only 3 rivals.
