Do you know anything about horses at all????

May 2 May17 June 7 three races in 36 days for California Chrome... 15 days rest between first two races and then 20 between the last two...

May 10 June 7 two races in 27 days both at Tonalist home track that they won at on may10th 27 days rest

Races Horses need rest and recoup time plus Chrome was in the more pressure races trying fo the Triple Crown the other horse was just a spoiler running at the same track he was trained on.....

Tell that to Man O’War.

He ran on 2 days and 2 weeks and in between commonly, ALL stakes, and set track to world records doing so. No, Secretariat never did that but by then they were starting to wimp out with horses and coddle them

Low-level racers still commonly run in 1 week increments. The perk of latter-day stake horses seems to be they get to run less.

See my other post.
