The programs cover the three races which comprise the Triple Crown of horse racing; the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes, all won by Citation in 1948. Considered the most difficult feat in horse racing, crown winner Citation and his jockey Eddie Arcaro are ranked among the finest of all the winners. The top two are Secretariat and Citation and all others pale in comparison. Citation then went on to win 16 consecutive races. The Kentucky Derby has no writing and the other two programs are rare and do have some writing. Condition overall is VG-EX and each measures approximately 4x9".
