There is about zero chance they will change the spacing of the three races. It would diminish the accomplishment going forward. It is a tough thing to accomplish and it should be.

I don't think it will matter after today.

Its funny you bring this up. A change was made back not long before secretariat. We had some close ones in the years between big cy and big red no. 2. So, they did some tinkering. And then 3 tc winners, blam, and then blam, blam. So, some said ooh no, we made it too easy...haha.
at any rate, i think its gotten more attention this year than last certainly hearing it a ton on different sirius stations, and nbc even has it tied in as a great day of sports, racing and then game 2 of the cup (go hawks).

I saw more coverage on ESPN thins morning than I can ever recall before. I always thought they really didn't give a S$it about horse racing once they lost the coverage rights.

Cool.congrats to ap, and to victor. Hes gotta be over the moon.

This is why the will not change the spacing of the races.

That, and no reason to. People forget how many times its been oh so close, and so many who ran in all three show that 'its too taxing' is a lie.

well done..the media did a great job..all up to the point when they went off on the loss of the horse in the 4th..then the weasles from peta crawled out of the woodwork for a 'fresh angle'..shiet heads...:rolleyes:

Agree, when I started wagering in 85 a Wednesday card at santa Anita was better than an average weekend card today. With the horse shortage we currently have we need all the big money owners we can get.
