Today in 1919 Sir Barton won the Kentucky Derby, he would go on to win the Preakness and Belmont Stakes that same year and many people didn't realize it but he would become known as the first Triple Crown winner in US horse racing history. There wasn't a "Triple Crown" in 1919, it didnt become know as that until the 1930s, but the 3 biggest and oldest races had never been won in the same year by one horse.
