Clement turned Lull around in a few weeks(shockingly) after she fell but save that when was the last time he turned one around in 14 days? You ever see Shug wheel back in 2 weeks after winning a serious graded turf race like the Arc, with a filly no less? Exactly who are the trainers that run their high quality turf graded stock on less then 30 days ESPECIALLY off a graded win. Oh and there used to be US trainers that ran their dirt horses frequently, but the vernacular now is all good horses not just the looping turf horses need a minimum of a month to recover. Oh and by the way a month is minimum, 60+ days for horses like Frosted, Curlina, Cavorting, By the Moon etc. I watched Golden Man win 2 stakes in 3 days.

Let's call it the way it is and let's not apologize.

Zenyatta used to bearly gallop for a mile in the exact same way that Found lopes the first mile. Zenyatta wheel back in 2 weeks? What did Honor Code do gun from the gate or lope for 3/4's of a race? Honor Code ran 60 days after Met in Whitney and then wait 55+ days to run in Kelso..He was a loper stone cold closer didnt have a lick of taxing grueling speed, whichs seems to zap horses from recovery. 2 examples of serious grade1 lopers who NEEDED 60 days. Sherriff's and Shug are world class, some of the best trainers ever but lets not suggest this hasnt reached the absurd in States.

Excellent
