There was silence over the arena. The second event had ended on a sad note, but the goddess was pleased with how the competitors had handled it. With a gentle sigh, the Shade of the weeping woman faded away. Nike smiled at the gathering proudly. "I think she will be able to move on now. Well done, all. I hope you will remember this moment in coming days." The score board ripples and shifts once again, reflecting the new points earned.

A breeze blows through, dusting everyone in the arena with a golden shimmer. It is a temporary emotion suppressant, easing the ache of sorrow she knows many of them dealt with in the last trial.

It is dawn on the day of the third event. The arena is adorned in sunny yellow banners and bunting today, and a crisp southern breeze keeps them moving excitedly. The arena is set up differently today, a clear track running the edge of the space. The final contestants arrive at the center of the arena, and the goddess flashes into their midst once more.
"Good morning! As promised, today we test your physical strengths. The first way we are going to do this is a classic, straightforward foot race. A short one. Five laps around, and the points will be awarded in the order you cross the finish line. Play fair. Or not." She winks, and a shimmering silver and gold checkerboard line appeared midway through one side of the track. Stalin, Castile, Jinju, Astrophel, Andulvar, Leilan, Durotan, Warrick, Scorch and Hephaestus were motioned to go and line up.
Edit: Added Team Zeta's points

The question you must answer to qualify your post is: Who is the most recent Triple Crown winner, and who was their jockey?
