Some year the Derby and Preakness were run on the same day. Gallant Fox won the Preakness before the Derby.
I don't think that it's was after War Admiral that the term Triple Crown was used by Chas. Hatton to represent the Derby/Preakness/Belmont series. Other than wedding 3 significant circuits, I'm not sure what would make him join the threee events into s sequence of meaning.
