The English Triple Crown Winners is a three-race competition for Thoroughbred racehorses. The English Triple Crown consists of the 2000 Guineas Stakes (at 1 mile), The Derby (at 1½ miles), and the St Leger Stakes (at 1 mile 6 furlongs and 127 yds) although the distances have varied throughout the years.
