I did pick the winner in the Derby, but I was more interested in the comments made by the owner of California Chrome about requiring other horses to run multiple races.
I really do not know where I side on this issue of making the horses run in more than just the Belmont.
Even though I agree in principle I agree with him, I would never ask the other horses to run if they cannot win or risk injury.
A triple crown has happened in past and will happen again in the future. I blame the owners, they have bred these horses with legs that cannot control the power they produce. Maybe it is time to look into that side of racing.

We got spoiled growing up with Secretariat, Seattle Slew, and Affirmed. I would not change the rules, we just need owners and trainers to develop the horses for greatness like they used to.

I thought of something else. The 2 greatest things I remember ever about horse racing was the Secretariat and Affirmed Belmont races. Big Red for running a track record that still stands! And Affirmed for the amazing heart to run neck and neck with Alydar for that whole long stretch in the Belmont and get his head in front 1 more time. Gives me chills.
