JUSTIFY
A TRIPLE CROWN WINNER
by Larry Thornton
When Justify won the
2018 Thoroughbred Triple Crown he was not just another Triple Crown winner, but the 13th winner of this esteemed title since Sir Barton did it 99 years ago in 1919. That puts Justify
in an elite group of horses in
the annals of racehorse history, cementing his name among the winners of this important, but elusive, title.
Over a sloppy track, Justify barely has a spot of mud on him winning the $2,192,000 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
