In the sea of sports types, you’ll see a lot of people diving around ball games such as basketball, volleyball, football, and soccer. Some are even considering themselves as die-hard fans of the most popular teams playing on their respective tournaments. They even spend money only to show their support to their favorite players.
Aside from the popularity of ball gamers and other types of sports you found in any given field, one of the most creative and grandest sports annually celebrated by most people is horse racing. Horse racing started to become popular since then and it continues its popularity up until this day. To be honest, when a horse racing tournament is held, it is often attended by lots of horse racing fans all over the world.
One of the most famous horse racing events that has gained so much popularity ever since it existed in the U.S. Triple Crown Series. This horse racing showdown is composed of three major legs namely the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes. The Triple Crown Series is the most prestigious horse racing show held in three different locations in America where three-year-old thoroughbred racers are vying a huge prize-at-stake in the Grade 1 Stakes category.
Unlike ball gamers and other sports where it only involves two or three betting categories, the horse racing betting game comes in various types and difficulty levels. This is the main reason why a lot of sports fans are considering horse racing tournament as “Sports King”. The massive availability of betting games it can offer gives a lot of chances to all bettors in expanding their chances of winning.
In line with that, the Triple Crown season has ended this year and unfortunately, there is no Triple Crown winner. Take note that for a horse racer to win the Triple Crown he must be the first finisher of the three major legs which are mentioned above. The first reason why there is no Triple Crown winner is that the Kentucky Derby held the most controversial event and winners this year where a unanimous disqualification of the real winner was ordered.
Moreover, the Kentucky Derby winner wasn’t able to join the Preakness Stakes and there was a different winner. The same thing with Belmont, a different winner was declared so that’s the reason why there is no Triple Crown winner this season.
Although it’s been a rough ride for the Triple Crown season this year, a lot of horse racing fans are looking forward to a different show next year. Actually, the betting game makes a horse racing tournament more exciting. That said, every betting game you need to take part in any horse racing game may it be Triple Crown show or not should give you the reason to enjoy the show. Bet on the Belmont, Preakness, Kentucky or even a random horse racing showdown will surely give you enough reason to wage.
