ALMOST A TRIPLE CROWN!! but no



Big Brown almost made a world record that hasn't been done for 30 years. Have you heard of Da' Tara? I hadn't but now hes the champ. Da' Tara beat a race that no one thought he could. But he sure showed them wrong. A triple crown, is when a horse races three times in five weeks. And also win the Kentucky Durby. The last horse to win the triple crown was named Affirmed. Affirmed ran in the year 1978. Some people believe that Big Brown was kicked by Da' Tara and injured. But I just believe that Big Brown wasn't running fast enough he was holding himself back. He's a fast horse but he just didn't want to show it. You could tell he was confident though. The first horse to win the triple crown was Sir Barton in 1919, then came Gallant Fox in 1930, then there was Omaha in 1935, War Admiral in 1937, Whirlaway in 1941, Count Fleet in 1943, and then theres was my favorite Assault in 1946, and we can't forget about Citation in 1948, and another brilliant horse Secretariat in 1973, Seattle Slew in 1977, and the last horse to win the triple crown was like we said Affirmed in 1978. The black horse to the left is Da'Tara the brown one is Big Brown.
