I put this suggested change up the week before last and it was ignored. Its going up again. The schedule of the Triple Crown races needs to be changed, and changed soon.
Today's events were not good and will continue if 3YO horses are asked to race on schedules they are no longer built for. No one can predict a breakdown but soreness, imflamation can cause an athlete to compromise his action. With humans it usually ends up somewhere in the back.
Horses who are asked to compete on the schedule the Triple Crown requires are lucky if they make it to Labor Day. For Barbaro sun-up might be a stretch.
How many more is it going to take.........
