OT Belmont Stakes

The race with no fans going crazy in the stands was lame. So was the distance at 1.125 miles. So, IMO, if the last race is not 1.5 miles, then there is no legitimate Triple Crown series (or winner if there happens to be one) this year.

It won't be traditional, but if Tiz The Law wins the next two legs I would consider that a legitimate Triple Crown.

You can't take anything away from Tiz. Because of the distance, I would be fine with an asteric, but I agree that he also is a legit triple crown winner

The Belmont race will be run at a shorter distance and it's worth noting

Nothing can upstage the Kentucky Derby. The glory of the confederacy.

Just the recovery time between races makes this a huge asteric year. The next race is 3 months from now. Not in anyway a legitimate triple crown.

I have to agree with you on the layoff time, it's an awful long time between racea
