And I really struggle to figure out what's going to be next.
Our friend Brent Musburger and I were talking about this, and he liked the idea, and part of it's the old Wayne Lucas idea, that you have the Triple Crown races once a month, that you have one the first Saturday in May and then the Preakness first Saturday in June and run the Belmont on July 4th.
Brent would say, throw in the Travers in August and make it a Grand Slam and create something new.
So I think we're going to find out, though, what we're going to find out, either with the spacing of the Preakness or trainers continuing to ignore it, what we're going to be in horse racing without the old traditional Triple Crown.
I would say it's somebody you've never heard of.
I was thinking about this when we were talking about this at dinner last night.
I gave you two names.
I'm going to mention neither of those now.
I was thinking about this overnight.
Everett Dobson.
Ever heard of Everett Dobson?
I have not.
No.
Everett Dobson is the head of the Jockey Club.
He just took it over, and it's one of these very blue-blooded things where it's almost Elizabeth handing it to Charles.
It is that blue-blooded.
But they hold an awful lot of influence to the point that they are the centerpiece of criticism whenever things like this come along, things like the spacing of the Triple Crown, the full crop, which is eroded now.
Thoroughbreds, there are only about half as many thoroughbreds as there were even 20 years ago.
and you see horse races with only four or five horses instead of nine or ten, that's a direct response to the foal crop being smaller.
The Jockey Club is pointed out in that respect.
