There are a number of cogent arguments that have been made about extending the time between triple crown races. I think that we could have a healthy discussion of the benefits versus the adherence to tradition.

However, I have to take issue with your claim that horses are dying because of the two week interval. Nothing can support the claim of your last sentence. Havinameltdown's breakdown was tragic, but that was not part of the triple crown competition.
