Uruguay
The three races that comprise the Triple Crown in Uruguay are:
- Gran Premio Polla de Potrillos
- Gran Premio Jockey Club
- Gran Premio Nacional
This combination of races received some publicity outside of Uruguay in 2006. The 2005 Triple Crown winner Invasor, after being sold to Sheik Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum's Shadwell Racing and sent to be raced in the United States, went on to win three Grade I races in 2006 before winning that year's Breeders' Cup Classic. He finished the year as the top-ranked horse in the 2006 World Thoroughbred Racehorse Rankings, and won the 2007 Dubai World Cup before being retired to stud following a training injury.
Uruguayan Triple Crown winners are:
- 1988 Amodeo
- 1994 Parsiphal
- 2005 Invasor
