A whole bunch of marketing has gone into the positioning of the TC races on the schedule. I agree with cj- they are going right back to where they were whenever it is feasible (most likely 2021).

This didn't age well, as they say.
Now that the Belmont has been shortened, I wonder if everything is up for grabs in 2021. The Derby will probably be back to 1 1/4 miles on the first Saturday in May, but more spacing? A shorter Belmont? Even a shorter Preakness?
Basically if Bob Baffert wants these things, he can probably get them.
