I think it would be good and bad. The bad part is that as soon as the horse wins the Belmont, he would go straight to the shed. Why risk running in the Travers and then versus older horses in the BC. Plus you would have the 3 year old and probably Horse of the Year locked up already. The good would be for all the attention the sport would get. Hopefully some new fans, and for us younger guys a chance to see a TC winner. Those of us in our 30's probably don't remember Slew and Affirmed ( I know I don't). I know the first derby I remember was 81 and Pleasant Colony. So it would be cool for me to see a TC winner.
