Settle an argument please. Who were the last 2 horses to win the triple crown?

Question

Answer the question so I can tell my hubby he was wrong. Thanks

Answer 1

I know for sure that the last triple crown winner was "Affirmed" back in 1978 and we haven't had a triple crown winner since then.. and we are now 2007 and counting.... before Affirmed, it was either Secretariat or Seattle Slew.. on this I am not certain......

Answer 2

Seattle Slew and Affirmed. Very rare feat.

Answer 3

Affirmed and Seattle Slew! Affirmed-1978 and Seattle Slew-1977!

Answer 4

Its amazing how many thoroughbred triple crown races there are around the world.  As you requested, you wanted the last two winners, only the Hong Kong Triple Crown has a single winner at present.
