It will get tiring. And I think it will come back to bite racing in the ass, not suddenly, but slowly. Over time, the attention of the general public will trickle away. And I don't blame them! There's nothing to watch any more. As soon as you start to get attached to them, they're retired.

And the trend of no Triple Crowns? I've heard some talk about spreading out the Triple Crown races more to give the horses more rest time. I say NO. Why? To reward breeders who have ditched endurance and conformational strength? To encourage the trends of speed with strength and fewer and fewer starts per horse? Absolutely not. If today's horses can't pull off the Triple Crown like the horses of yesteryear, then fix the goddamn horses, don't cater to their weaknesses. Until then, let the drought continue.
