@Fifty years ago this spring, Calumet Farm's Citation won the 74th running of the Kentucky Derby, then went on to become the eighth winnier of racing's Triple Crown. He was the fourth of the decade, the third in five yerars.
@Citation was a remarkable performer, the likes of which don't come along every year. In 1948 alone, he went to the post 20 times, winnig 19 and finishing second once.

@But in the 1940s, winning the Triple Crown was not that unusual. Calumet Farm's Whirlaway won the Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont in the spring of 1941. In the wartime year of 1943, Mrs. John Hertz' Count Fleet, with Johnny Longden aboard, swept the three races to maintain the Triple Crown as a major event on the American sports calendar. In 1946, King Ranch's Assault followed Count Fleet as a Triple Crown champion. Two years later, when Eddie Arcaro rode Citation to victory in the three races, it seemed that turning the trick in a period of six weeks was not a very difficult task.

@But as trainer Ben Jones and Eddie celebrated Citation's Belmont victory that June evening in 1948, no one knew that it would be twenty-five years before another 3-year-old would win the three springtime classics.
@There were some close calls through the Fifties and Sixties. Six colts won the Derby and the Preakness but couldn't nail down the Belmont. As the Seveties dawned, Canonero II came out of Venezuela to win the Derby and Preakness - and the hearts of America - but could not go the final mile and a half.
@In 1972, Riva Ridge, a great looking colt who had all the tools, won the Derby and the Belmont, but the sloppy mud of Pimlico was his undoing. Would we ever have another Triple Crown winner.
