I'm hoping this does not bring on a severe case of colic, but, here goes ...

Who the f%$! voted you the arbiter of what true race fans feel? If there is such a club, and if you decide what we all feel, I resign effective immediately!
Those "true race fans" feel that "Changing the Format would cheapen the accomplishment and belittle what the great horses of the past achieved."
Claptrap! How does anything that happens today diminish what happened in 1973 or 1948? You would have to have the simplest of minds, the most feeble excuse for an intellect, to think that were so. Changing the spacing in 2007 might diminish the accomplishment ... in 2007 or 2008. But it would have no bearing on what was accomplished 33 or 58 years ago.
Calling you a miserable excuse for a human being would be a mistake. It cheapens the accomplishments of all the other miserable excuses for human beings.
