more spacing wouldn't make a triple crown easier. i think it would make it more difficult actually. a lot of good horses that don't run well in the derby don't come back for the preakness because it's only two weeks. whereas if it were a month, they would be much more likely to come back for a shot at the preakness which would make the field stronger. and the undercard would be much better too. i can't blame Chuckas for wanting more spacing from the derby. Pimlico gets short shrift the way it is now.
