Just because nothing I see in the theater these days holds a candle to the eras that produced Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, The Bicycle Thief, All About Eve or Sweet Smell of Success doesn't mean there haven't been good films made since that were enjoyable.
The experience of the moment is as good as you choose to make it. And I know you love racing...

The part in bold makes me ask you this question again. If all that matters is that a horse meets the criteria of being a star in today's game and a comparison to the best of yesteryear isn't important, why are you against changing the TC? The new TC runners (and eventual winners) will be the best in that environment and it shouldn't matter that they aren't comparable to Secretariat and Affirmed right?
