Does anyone know when the last change was made in either the spacing or the length of the races? I tried to track it down, but for once Google failed me.
Good thread, btw. I particularly liked Indian Charlie's rundown of the Belmont 'fails'. And I totally agree with Cannon's "As a matter of fact a TC winner wont have any lasting impact on racing anyway."
My own opinion on whether the spacing should be changed is obvious from my avatar.
