Imagine if Baseball Basketball and Football had a 4 month playoffs. People would get tired of it real fast.

Who said anything about spreading the TC out 3-4 months? They are only talking about adding one more week between races. Instead of 2 weeks between the Derby and Preakness, it would be 3 weeks. I don't know if they would add an extra week between the Preakness and Belmont.
