With where racing is going, it is getting harder and harder NOT to believe they'll space out the Triple Crown races. The Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes absolutely dwarf the Preakness in popularity, respect, and trainer/owner intent.
I wouldn't be surprised if a 'new' Triple Crown of the Kentucky Derby, Belmont, and Travers Stakes comes about eventually. The Belmont could move back and Travers could move forward in the calendar.
Likely crazy talk to myself. At the very least, the Preakness will change to Laurel at some point in time, right?
