It's probably helped by the fact it was closing in on damn near 40 years without won so people were STARVED for a triple crown winner.
Ya, all of this topic aside, I am not even a huge fan on the notion of The Triple Crown, but with a few other reason, I think The Kentucky Derby is very over rated. And I don't like The Company Church Hill Downs.
The Twin Spires are nice, but it falls off real quick after that.
Also, I talked with Tom Durkin who is the track announcer I grew up with and he agreed with me, which was hugely vindicating.
