CtC:
I enjoy your take on the future of the Triple Crown. Here's mine:
Almost inevitable that Churchill will drink the Poly Kool Aid and by 2010 we
will have our first Poly Ky Derby.
If Magna/Stronach is still involved in Racing, Frankstro will (kind of as
retribution against Maryland politicians who have been rather unkind to him)
take the Preakness away from Pimlico and run it at another Magna facility ie
Santa Anita or Gulfstream or maybe even Remington or Lone Star. Maybe he will
run the Preakness at a different venue each year, kind of like a floating crap
game.
The powers that be in NY, after years of Belmonts with small fields and a
diminishing live gate on Belmont Day, will decide to run the race at 1-1/2 miles
on the turf.
