Default Forde and the Ragozin guys weigh in on changing the Triple Crown

Forgive me for seeming a broken record on this, but, in my defense, they're the ones writing about it all the time.

Here's Pat Forde's take on....guess what...changing the Triple Crown...and here is the Len Ragozin and Len Friedman article in the NY Times that he references. http://therail.blogs.nytimes.com/200...-major-reform/

Has anyone at ESPN.com not written about this now? Would bringing back the Triple Crown challenge revive the number of repeaters more than moving the races? And do the other prestigious races available on the first Saturday in June and on July 4th come up full generally? I haven't tried to keep track of it.
