what's the third leg of the triple crown?
rand
in his only appearance in the kentucky derby, in 1956 tom barry trained high king to a tenth-place finish. he had two horses run in the preakness stakes: celtic ash finished third in 1960, and vimy ridge earned fourth place in 1962. however, from two entries in the third leg of the u.s. triple crown series, the belmont stakes, tom barry's horses won both. for owner joseph e. o'connell, a banker from boston, massachusetts, barry used his knowledge of the irish thoroughbred industry and had o'connell buy cavan in the belief that the irish-born colt was genetically suited to run its best at longer distances. barry proved correct as the colt won the 1958 belmont stakes, at a mile and a half, the longest of the u.s. triple crown races. in winning, cavan spoiled kentucky derby and preakness stakes winner tim tam's bid to capture the triple crown. two years later in 1960, tom barry and joseph o'connell's green dunes farm did the same thing when they purchased the british-bred colt celtic ash in ireland. bought for $22,000, in the united states celtic ash earned more than $130,000. in the 1 3/16 mile preakness stakes of 1960, celtic ash finished third but then won the much longer belmont stakes.
