What other sports use the phrase "Triple Crown"?

Baseball. It's what it's called when a batter leads his league in home runs, batting average and RBIs in the same season. -- Zoe

Surfing as well. Just today I serendipitously heard about the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing after posting the question below -- Pojo

[edit] Betting Schedule (USA)

I'm new to horse racing all together (as of today) and there is something I don't understand. I saw in the news today that the Preakness has announced odds and is taking bets on the 2006 race. Neither the Kentucky Derby nor the Belmont Stakes seem to yet be open to betting. All 3 of the websites: Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes prominently display information that seems to be from before the 2005 races. The question is, when does betting generally open for the three races? (This information may be more suitable to the individual races' pages, but I thought the question should go here.) -- Pojo 22:19, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
