Question: What is the name of the only Texas-bred racehorse to win the Triple Crown?
Answer: Assault. The chestnut Thoroughbred was foaled at the King Ranch in 1943 and became the seventh winner of the Triple Crown in 1946. As a colt, he stepped on a stake that pierced his front right hoof, causing him to develop a gait that earned him the nickname “the Clubfooted Comet.”
