I see this as a repeat of the 1982 season when Gato Del Sol bypassed the Preakness and came in 2nd behind Conquistador Cielo in the Belmont. Within 3 years there was concern the Triple Crown would be a thing of the past when Spend A Buck bypassed the Preakness and went for the New Jersey series instead. They were scrambling and made a bonus program in 1987 in an effort to bring all 3 races together. The idea of the Triple Crown schedule is starting to wane after American Pharoah and Justify won it.
