Notes

• ^[Fy] Denotes a filly. Seven fillies have won the 2000 Guineas Stakes, seven have won the Epsom Derby, and 41 have won the St Leger Stakes. The only year in which a filly won each of the individual Triple Crown races was 1882, which was also the only year in which fillies won all five British Classic Races.
• ^RNR Race not run. The St Leger Stakes in 1939 was cancelled due to World War II. ^{[1] [2]}

Notes

• In 1789, Zanga finished first in the St. Leger Stakes, but was disqualified for jostling.
• In 1844, Running Rein finished first in the Epsom Derby, but was disqualified as he was actually an ineligible four-year-old horse named Maccabeus.
• In 1913, Craganour finished first in the Epsom Derby, but was controversially disqualified.
• In 1980, Nureyev finished first in the 2000 Guineas, but was relegated to last place following a stewards' inquiry.
