9. the Triple Crown does not involves Pimlico. It is the Belmont.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Triple_Crown_of_Thoroughbred_Racing

In the U.S., the term "Triple Crown" usually refers to the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, a series of three Thoroughbred horse races for three-year-old horses run in May and early June of each year. The three races are:

Kentucky Derby, run over 1 and 1/4 miles (2.01 km) dirt track at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky;
Preakness Stakes, run over 1 and 3/16 miles (1.91 km) dirt track at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland;
Belmont Stakes, run over 1 and 1/2 miles (2.41 km), the longest dirt track in thoroughbred racing, at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.
