THE PUZZLE CORNER: JUNE 7, 2014

We waited until now to see how things went, but for better or worse, "California Chrome" failed to win the Belmont Stakes and become the first horse since the answer to last week's TRIVIA TIME question.
But we can still do our Professional Horse Racing themed Puzzle Corner as planned.

TRIVIA TIME
Who was the last horse to win both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, but failed to win the Belmont Stakes to complete the Triple Crown?

FAMOUS FIRSTS
We reveal which horse did it last below, but who was the first horse to complete the Triple Crown?


We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's peek inside THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results from the May 31, 2014 Puzzle Corner.
