the 37-year gap between the triple crown wins of affirmed and american pharoah drew criticism of the system. as far back as 1986, reporters noted that horses who were fresh for the belmont had an advantage. in 2003, gary stevens stated in an interview with charlie rose that he did not believe there would be another triple crown winner because of the tendency for owners to put fresh horses in the preakness and belmont stakes. california chrome co-owner steve coburn was particularly critical of the triple crown system in post-belmont remarks in 2014; he considered the system to be unfair, arguing that there would never be another triple crown winner in his lifetime unless only horses that competed in the kentucky derby and preakness competed at the belmont. by 2014, six of the previous eight belmont winners had not competed in either of the first two legs of the triple crown. additionally, from 2006 to 2014, the belmont winner was a horse who had not competed in the preakness.
