All kidding aside -- why fix what isn't broken?

Grand Slam? This is making me hungry. Move one of the races to a Florida track and call it the Moons Over My Hammy.
I agree, don't fix what isn't broken. If it's next to impossible, great. Baffert thinks the Derby-Preakness timing is just fine, esp. for the KD winner because the Derby winner's still riding high and can swing right into it in good form. The Derby horses this year held form going into that race as they usually do. There's a benefit to the Belmont being frickin' hard to get for a number of reasons. Belmont Park's moved races to the undercard to make for an even bigger day, I can't see them moving. Obviously "the first Saturday in May" isn't something the Derby's giving up. The MJC needs to let it go.
