I think this is pretty obscure. I'd never have got this.
Unfortunately I'd have to agree.
I had to look up what it even meant in the first place and it turns out that there are several definitions.
I'm assuming this is the horse racing one?

Yes, it\'s the horse racing one^^. Get it, against the odds... gambling. plus some of the names would probably sound familiar to some people. Oh well...
I HATED IT
Don't know what this triple crown is, but in the UK it is won in Rugby Union by one of the following ( England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales ) when beating the other 3 in the 6 nations Championship
I show full respect to this figure applied to relate the common term used to acknowledge of triple victory of the horse race that brings me to mind of my isolated intervention of my teacher's circculum and interbased teaching methods of when I used to distribute my knowledge to fellow peers by using a combination and arrangment of words to teach the student body of the rombicosidodeckahedron. Good times...good times...
From all the brits out there : What's a triple crown?
I had no clue.
Very nice!
I still think the best Kentucky Derby ever was the year Charismatic blew them all out of the water!!
