People get so desperate for a Triple Crown winner they come up with the craziest things. Why try to water down the achievement or the challenge? Let them earn it the traditional way like everyone else did. Orb flat out lost. He ran a great and his best race in the Derby. But it was just one race and the Preakness was a totally different condition in many ways.

There is an old sayin' "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I am a newbie no doubt but post selection has been a part of this game and handicapping for a long time. Why should a process be modified to possibly increase the chances for a participent to gain an advantage.

It is supposed to be tough to win these things, regardless of the luck of the draw............... that's why they are called CHAMPIONS when they win.
