May 15 1937 War Admiral, ridden by Charles Kurtsinger, battles Pompoon from the top of the stretch and wins the Preakness Stakes by a head. 1941 Joe DiMaggio starts 56-game hitting streak.
A Triple Crown is right up there among the greatest accomplishments in sports – there's a reason it took 37 years between Affirmed's sweep in 1978 and American Pharoah's triumph in 2015.
