2. The brothers John & Henry Churchill, in 1875. Opening day, and the first Kentucky Derby, was May 17, 1875. The idea and much of the planning were originated by Lutie Clark. (more bonus points?? )

3. Sir Barton, in 1919. He won the Kentucky Derby by 5 lengths, the Preakness by 4 lengths, and the Belmont by 5 lengths, in 2:17 2/5 (MORE bonus points?? )
