@shergar81 Good Track to start with! When I was 15 Ralph Beckett and I won The Placepot on the last day of The Ebor meeting. Bought myself a pair of Russell & Bromley Loafers!π₯΄ππ
Modifying Triple Crown Schedule: An Epic Fail in the Making!
The Triple Crown is tough, and that's good. It's three big races close together, making it hard to win.
Yet, 13 horses have managed to achieve this feat, earning them legendary status.
The names glide off the tongue, demigods of the racetrack... Sir Barton (1919), Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935), War Admiral (1937), Whirlaway (1941), Count Fleet (1943), Assault (1946), Citation (1948), Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977), Affirmed (1978), American Pharoah (2015), and Justify (2018).
These are the revered champions!
Changing this tradition would water down one of horse racing's biggest achievements. You would have to apply an asterisk after the horse's name, indicating the conditions were made easier after the switch.
Awful idea, you may as well scrap the entire concept!
If horse racing is looking to improve, the focus should be on refining how horses are trained and bred, rather than changing how the races are conducted.
