Triple Crown

I’ll Have Another

I’ll Have Another won the Preakness !!!!  Belmont Stakes is next on June 9th.

May 19th will be the running of the Preakness thoroughbred horse race. The Preakness is the second race of the Triple Crown. Hopefully we’ll see the horse, I’ll Have Another, win the Preakness and get a chance to run for the Triple Crown. No horse has won the Triple Crown since 1975. It’s been a long time.

Involve your students in this soon-to-be event while reviewing fractions, calculating miles per hour and miles per minute of horse racing, and learning about the measures of “hands” and “furlongs”.
