RIP Triple Crown. You were great - some would say the best in all of sports. Amazing what people in charge of the sport will do to preserve their profits while destroying what is one of the few good things still going.

I am in favor of any and all new ideas to grow racing and increase interest in our sport. So I welcome The Thoroughbred Series introduced by Churchill and the NYRA and I look forward to competing in the new series.

But the greatest achievement in racing will always be winning the Triple Crown - The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes.

The Triple Crown has sustained our sport for more than 150 years, and it will continue to do so for another 150 or more, if we appreciate it and care for it.

The Preakness is integral to racing’s history...If I have the right horse, I’ll continue to run in Baltimore every May, as well as in The Thoroughbred Series.

When I was a kid in the 80s at Galway, the queues to the Tote were filled with kids under 18 having bets and I remember being shocked at Fontwell when being told I was too young. But ID at the gate to save bartenders time is an awful look racing needs youngsters interested.
