Positive aspect of Eight Belles

[TheSpyder]

Larry Jones stated after the tragedy that it had to happen for a reason and something good would come out of it.

I was just thinking. Obviously a mass of people not caring at all about horse racing or only having a fleeting interest were drawn into the sport over the last few weeks. And not all of them are on the scale of the crazed PETA variety.

I wonder if many of these same people will also be drawn into the next three weeks and the lead up to the Belmont. If any news is good news the amount of coverage has exploded and just maybe a Triple Crown winner will bring in people to the sport for the right reasons, instead of the wrong ones. I think it will and the tradegy will pave the way for new fans of the Sport of Kings.
