English Triple Crown race winners
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 Epsom 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.
Runners who have won all three races in one year are in bold.

- In 1980, Nureyev finished first in the 2000 Guineas, but was relegated to last place following a stewards' inquiry.
