Great article depicting the size of the onion all who love this sport are dealing with. That being said, anyone at the track or watching on tv June 6th, 2015 experienced something that will in all likelihood stay with them forever, horse racing fan or not. Now imagine a world where there is a 1 1/4 race for older horses run on the first saturday in May at CD, a 1 1/2 race for older horses run at Belmont on Belmont day, move the JCGC upstate for Travers day, create an older horse triple crown. These individual sports ride the waves of their stars and rivalries. Golf, was in a lull between Jack and Tiger, Tiger brought it back and the Tiger/Phil rivalry brought tee time waiting lists to the lousiest of mini golf layouts. Or was that Happy Gilmore? Sports are in an overall decline because the character's that once defined their genre's have been knocked down by political correctness. Where is the Fat Guy spike and the Fat Guy dance? Where is Johnnie Mac telling the ref to "grow some hair"? George Brett and pine tar? Billy and Reggie? Tyson and his incisors? Enough of that, all I'm saying is there are few sports left that have the power to generate the interest and excitement that we witnessed earlier this year and through the Travers. There is some momentum, and imagine the buzz that would exist if you could point an AP toward a mile and a quarter race on May 7, 2016, then have everyone be able to compare the times of the winners of the two races. Changing track speeds not withstanding. Oh well, that's today's fantasy.
