The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing was a series of three horse races: the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont. Winning all three races was considered one of the greatest achievements in the sport of horse racing.
In 2296, while being held by Romulan soldiers on the planet Obsidian, Leonard McCoy spoke at length about the sport of horse racing in order to forestall his execution. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Forge)
