Maybe instead of worrying about setting records and who is a "spoiler" the focus should be on the well being of the animal.

I could be wrong, but I believe that the last match race was Ruffian's. I don't think it was outlawed, it just isn't done.

Currently, you must win all three races to win the triple crown. So, how would this work? You don't win the first two so you scratch the Belmont rather than risk your horse. I'm not getting this.
Churchill is all qualifiers. Preakness is the best 15. Belmont is the best 10. Winner is the winner. If he wins all three he is the triple crown winner. If not, we don't have a triple crown winner.

It is a matter of elimination.
