When it comes to horse betting, the number 11 is the most important inbelmont20091 North American horse racing. Since 1919 only 11 thoroughbred horses have ever won the Triple Crown of America. The Triple Crown is a three stage race spread out all over the country during a five week period. It is used to determine who the best horse at the three year old level is. Now although only 11 have won the Triple Crown with the last doing so in 1978, there have also been many other great horses for fans betting online to wager on. Here are two that come to mind.

  • Skip Away - Although a top thoroughbred for three year olds back in the late 1980s, Skip Away wasn’t able to win any of the three races to make up the Triple Crown. But what makes this horse great then you may ask? Well consider this, although not winning any of the Triple Crown races or a Breeders Cup event, Skip Away was able to win the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Woodbine Million and Haskell Invitational in the fall of his third year.

What’s more, although failing to win at least one of the big four races, Skip Away was able to win the Eclipse award for three year old colt of the year.

  • Round Table – From ages three to five no horse ever dominated American Thoroughbred racing the way Round Table did. It’s no betonline com scam, Round Table collected over $600, 000 for its owners, which turned out to be 50 percent more than the horse of the year for that year.

Throughout his career, Round Table accumulated 48 wins in 66 tries, yet was only deemed worthy of Horse of the Year honors once. Nevertheless, Round Table once set a record of 1:58 2/5 while carrying 132 pounds in the San Marcos Handicap.
