Talk:Triple Crown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The footnote about the existence of "three crowns" is historically and factually incorrect and should be removed - it is a bit of whimsy. The origin of the term is much more simple and refers to "crowns" only in the symbolic sense - four teams (Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales) compete and the winning team must beat the three others. It refers to a "triple" victory.
