This might just start a trend.
I can see a fight for stalls in New Mexico and Arkansas next winter.

You could qualify that statement by saying that the winners of the Fla Derby and Wood Memorial ran in exactly 0 Triple Crown races. The 2-3 finishers in the Fla Derby and Wood Memorial were West Side Bernie, Just a Coincidence, Dunkirk, and Theregoesjojo. Dunkirk's 2nd place finish in the Belmont among that quartet's three combined Triple Crown starts is pretty good.
This Triple Crown series said little about the quality of racing in NY or Fla except that it sucked beyond the best horse in each of those locations.
