Las Vegas Kentucky Derby Triple Crown

It's horse racing season, and Las Vegas is the best place to take in all the action. The Triple Crown comprises three major horse races: The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness, and The Belmont Stakes. It is rare for one three-year-old horse to win all three races. In fact, the last horse to win the coveted Triple Crown was Affirmed in 1978. But that makes no difference to horse racing fans, as every year brings the possibility and excitement that one horse can go the distance and win all three races.

The best place for your Triple Crown action is, of course, Las Vegas. Why jet off to Kentucky, Maryland, and New York and walk around in the mud when you chill in a Sports Book with top-shelf liquor and a boatload of post-race activities to keep you engaged and amused. After an afternoon of beers and horses, you'll be ready to hit the nightclubs and Las Vegas strip clubs and spend the night with some of the most beautiful women in Sin City.

This year's Kentucky Derby will make the 148th running of the horses at the famed Churchill Downs. The Derby takes place on May 6th and features the finest horses that have won in qualifying races. The race is 1 1/4 mile long and carries a $2 million prize for the winning horse. Twenty horses will compete for this storied prize. Watching the race?

The 148th running of the Preakness Stakes will be held on Saturday, May 20, 2023, at the track at Pimlico. The Preakness carries a purse of $1 million for its winner. At 1 3/16 miles, it is the shortest race of the Triple Crown. Traditionally, many of the same horses that run in the Kentucky Derby also run in the Preakness. The owners and trainers are seduced by visions of winning the Triple Crown. 

The Belmont Stakes is considered the hardest race of the quest for the Triple Crown. Of the three horse races that make up the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes is the oldest. On Saturday, June 10, 2023, Belmont Stakes will make the 155th run of this historic race. Nicknamed "The Test of the Champion," the Belmont is the longest race of the Triple Crown at 1 1/2 miles. Owners and trainers have to assess whether their horse is up to the task of such a long race, especially on the heels of the two other races in the Triple Crown. The $1 million purse pales compared to the glory of a history-making sweep of the Triple Crown.
