Its just awful, they should do away with them all together or at the very least only card these races on schmuck days like Mondays and Wednesdays, not take up half of Saturday cards with them.

The triple crown should be for 4 year olds and the races spaced one month apart. Never should a 3 year old have to come back in 2 weeks time after teh Derby. Shhhheeeesh.

I can see your point, but since I have a really sharp clocker, I rather LOVE 2yo races since with 1sters all you have to go on is works.
