Default Hmmm...

I do think it would be great for the sport, especially this year after Barbaro's unfortunate demise that overwhelmingly caught the public's attention.
I think a major problem is that the public has nothing to look forward to after the TC is over in June, most just after the Derby. They don't even know horses run past 3YO nor do the have reason to care. How about setting up TC races for 4YO or older, Run them during the summer after the 3YO crown is over that eventually ends with the BC Classic as it is now. I believe it could work, it just needs lots of Marketing/Sponsors/$$$ and the willingness to give it try. The public likes to see athletes they recognize and can follow, if they can somehow keep these athletes on the track and not in the sheds, it would open this game up for everyone.
