i remember that. there was a drought for years before sec...people wanted it changed, figured it would never again-and then, bam! three winners, and several others who won two thirds...so yeah, there was talk it had become too easy, especially after the back to back wins. oops.
so now we're back to 'change the tc'...and even tho some might argue that the changes they want may not make it easier-i doubt anyone would want said changes had we recently had a horse make the sweep.
we've had some horses come really close to winning-that in itself ought to show it's doable. it's not as tho these horses are winning one of the races and then failing dismally at the other two. hell, real quiet came within a nostril and an inquiry of winning.
