Since the 2,000 Guineas was first run in 1809, fifteen horses (including three winners of substitute races at Newmarket during the First World War) have won the English Triple Crown. The most recent – and only winner since World War II – was
Nijinsky, in 1970. For many years, it was considered unlikely that any horse would ever win the English Triple Crown again. In the winter of 2006/2007, however, trainer
Jim Bolger was training his unbeaten colt
Teofilo for the Triple Crown and bookmaker
William Hill plc was offering odds of only 12/1 against Teofilo winning the 2007 Triple Crown. The horse was withdrawn from the 2000 Guineas two days before the race after suffering a setback and never raced again.
Since Nijinsky, only

in 2012, no Derby winner (not even the potential Triple Crown winners Nashwan and Sea the Stars) even entered the St. Leger. This reluctance to compete in the St. Leger is said to be because of the impact it would have on a horse's
stud value in a market where speed is preferred to stamina.

Triple Crown winners:
†Wartime winners Pommern, Gay Crusader and Gainsborough are not counted, according to many judges, as the three races were all held at Newmarket and racing itself was too disrupted. By this reckoning, there were only 12 triple crown winners, and only three in the 20th century.

Triple Tiara
There have been several different versions of the ''Triple Tiara'' (sometimes known as the Filly Triple Crown) in the United States. One of them was a national version that consisted of undercard events on the same weekends as the associated Triple Crown races:
#
Kentucky Oaks, run over on a dirt track, at Churchill Downs;
#
Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, run over (previously ) on a dirt track, at Pimlico Race Course;
#
Acorn Stakes, run over (previously ) on a dirt track, at Belmont Park;
Only one filly won this version of the Triple Tiara,
Davona Dale in 1979. Few have even tried as the short time between the Kentucky Oaks and Black-Eyed Susan is generally considered too short for fillies.

New York Handicap Triple
The New York Handicap Triple is a series of three handicap races run in New York. Although historically notable, the series is now essentially defunct, as two of the races are run on the same day, making a sweep impossible. In addition, only the Metropolitan Handicap maintains a top-level designation and continues to be run as a handicap. The series consists of:
#
Metropolitan Handicap, run over on a dirt track, at Belmont Park;
#
Brooklyn Handicap (now run as the Brooklyn Invitational Stakes), run over (now ) on a dirt track, at Belmont Park;
#
Suburban Handicap (now run as the Suburban Stakes), run over on a dirt track, at Belmont Park;
