Sure SC everybody wants to win , but this is a corporate culture we live in and untill a realization that interests in racing need to be protected can take place , the status quo will continue and the racing industry party line stuff will remain - people would rather have a Triple Crown Winner .
Space the 3 races differently and possibly others leading up to and after them -Add a 4th race to the Crown series , maybe on turf at 7/8's whatever , but something should be done .
Baseball expanded their market share when going with additional playoff games and in essence created 4 divisions in each league ( w/ wild card div ) - Perhaps Horse racing would benifit from such an approach .
I think non-hardcore racing fans want to follow the sport with more regularity except that persistent negativity and stigma associated with racing is keeping them away by the millions ...
