all in Triple Crown

As reinforced by the launch of the “Still Running Strong” campaign last week, horse racing isn’t just the only major sport operating from coast-to-coast – it’s also gaining strength with more tracks reopening in June and July.

The road to the Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve makes its first-ever stop in June this Saturday, with points up for grabs in the Runhappy Santa Anita Derby at Santa Anita Park. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Kentucky Derby has been rescheduled for Sept.

Each week members of the media around the country vote on the nation's top contenders on the Triple Crown trail in the NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll. Find out the latest 2020 top 3-year-old rankings below.

AMERICA'S TOP THOROUGHBREDS as of June 1

The horse racing world like all other areas of society continues to make changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and public health crisis. All racetracks currently operating are doing so without spectators, and have instituted strict safety screening protocols for essential employees who are already on the grounds to provide daily care for horses.

This year’s Belmont Stakes is not the Belmont as we know it – far from it, by being run around one turn at a mile and an eighth with a testing pace likely down that long straightaway. Still, this version of the Belmont may actually be more attractive to breeders than the traditional Belmont Stakes, as it should resemble the Met Mile more than it resembles your typical two-turn classic race going longer.
