all in Triple Crown

Each week, members of the national media vote on the nation's top contenders on the Triple Crown trail in the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) Top Thoroughbred Poll.

Week 17 of the 2024 Top 3-Year-Old Thoroughbred Poll conducted by the NTRA covers racing performances through May 20, 2024. Seize the Grey, winner of the Preakness Stakes May 18 at Pimlico, enters the latest poll at No. 3.

Welcome to 2024 Triple Crown Prospect Profiles, where we’ll take a look each week at a recent winner on the U.S. Classics trail, with the focus this week on last week’s Preakness Stakes and the upcoming 156th running of the Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets June 8 at Saratoga Race Course.

It has been a meteoric rise to stardom for 25-year-old jockey Jaime Torres.

Every so often, a Thoroughbred racehorse elevates above the tried-and-true, everyday fan-o-sphere of the sport and captures the national consciousness. Secretariat is the gold standard, of course.

Tom Pedulla offers five takeaways from the $2 million Preakness Stakes, the middle leg of the Triple Crown, and other major developments this weekend at Baltimore’s Pimlico Race Course.
