Getting back to the issue of spacing out the TC races:
Would it not keep fan interest longer if we do space things out and allow for the BEST to get proper rest and training?
I'm all for the Derby where it is...you can scrap Pimlico...keep Belmont as Jewel #2 either on the present date or move it back in the Belmont meet...and then either the Travers in late July or early Aug. I'm sure the non-NYRA crowd would complain that NY gets 2 stakes but heck...can Santa Anita or DelMar enter the picture and offer another type race in July? That would leave 7 weeks to Breeders Cup and you can also play with that date...I'm sick and tired of freezing my ass off at Belmont in late fall with NO heat in the clubhouse!!!
