Tom Chuckas on Preakness/TC Spacing

[Danzig]

you've always had to be an 'iron horse' to win. people wanting changes are completely ignoring the history of the tc.
were there changes made between citation and secretariat?

if it's not rare, and not special-why bother trying for it.

the guy isn't trying to make winning the tc doable, he thinks his track is getting less attention. he may be right, but i don't think it's due to the schedule. md racing has been taking hits for some time, it's not because of the dates. it's because of purses and offerings.
