There is no reason to believe that added time would create more Triple Crown winners. As a matter of fact a TC winner wont have any lasting impact on racing anyway.
Chuckas is looking out for Pimlico which is what he is supposed to do but changing the dates wont help the TC and might very well do the opposite.
Now the best argument for changing the TC dates would be if the tracks got together and created a TC of sorts for the other divisions/undercard races as well which with a little creativity and common sense could be continued throughout the rest of the summer and fall leading up to the Breeders Cup.
Just changing the TC and randomly hoping it works is a far more likely scenario though
