loser, upset the winner of the belmont didn't race all three legs, california chrome's co-owner steve coburng rules changed after his horse fell short of nabbing the triple crown, a title which hasn't been awarded in a record 36 years. coburn's bitter reaction getting more attention than the race itself today. >> it's not fair to these horses that have been in the game since day one. i look at it this way, if you can't make enough points to get into the kentucky derby you, you can't run in the other races. it's all or nothing because this is not fair to these horses that have been running their guts out for these people and for the people that believe in them, to have somebody come up -- this is the coward's way out in my opinion, this is the coward's way out. >> of the 11 horses who competed in the belmont, only three, including chrome, also ran the derby and preakness, and with three tough races in just five weeks, racing experts say it's just too demanding for any 3-year-old horse to win all three with little time to rest in between, chrome was a favorite where 100,000 fans came to race.
