On DVD or VHS: The rich history of the eleven (11) horses who won racing's, "TRIPLE CROWN".

 

In more than a century, only eleven colts have conquered Thoroughbred racing's greatest challenge; sweeping the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes.... the "Jewels of the Triple Crown" - the crowning achievements of the greatest horses of all time are featured. Their names will be eternally etched in the annals of racing: SIR BARTON 1919, GALLANT FOX 1930, OMAHA 1935, WAR ADMIRAL 1937, WHIRLAWAY 1941, COUNT FLEET 1943, ASSAULT 1946, CITATION 1948, SECRETARIAT 1973, SEATTLE SLEW 1977 and AFFIRMED 1978. Their very names bespeak the regal lineage of this country's eleven superstar race horses; rare winners of the coveted "Crown".

These eleven were more than just magnificent Thoroughbreds - they were stars, and their stories are full of the excitement and human interest that one associates with stardom. Each was a true personality, with both the charisma and the quirks that tend to mark those who rise from the ranks to the top! From the much-heralded and handsome AFFIRMED, all the way back to the obscure SIR BARTON, winner of the as yet unnamed Triple Crown in 1919; this exclusive feature reveals the diverse, exciting, and often suspense-filled personal histories of each of these race horse aristocrats and tells the fascinating account of the three races that lead up to each horse's coronation with rare film footage not seen by the public in decades.

A tremendous racing film that brings to life the horses that reached the pinnacle of racing - what every owner, trainer, and jockey strives for in this sport - to capture the much sought after, but rarely captured, elusive "Crown". If you could only have one horse racing feature -this is the one! Narrated by Jim McKay.
