The early thoughts are how badly they need to change the spacing between these Triple Crown races.
Six or seven for the Preakness. Is this a joke. Even the other races get affected. How many Woodford Reserve runners will wheel back and how many CD Sprint runners give it a go.
The scheduling is old school. The Preakness should be run on Sat of Memorial Day weekend and the Belmont on July 4th.
Horses would last longer and don't give me this tradition and test of a champion bull---t either.
The Triple Crown has become a meat grinder that is ruining the sport as much as it is helping it.......
