Is Austin too tired to Hurry Up?
 

... or is this a good thing?

I don't presume to know what trainers are thinking.

Austin had a workout yesterday...

Nice horse, or one I like anyway (although he's not exactly a win machine). :D

So my question is is this a good thing? Race horses should race but is this too much? A good strategy? Should he get a break now?

If you trained him, what would you do next?

Does Barry Abrams train him? I remember there was a point last year where Unusual Suspect was being run nearly all the time.

I'd give at least 3 weeks.

Stute trains him.....

Not insulting him at all... just wondering what some of you think. :)

Race him every week or fourteen days for three months and then put him away for a bit.

Repeat.
