Default Why is Sweet Nicole starting 4 days from a win??



Today in the 8TH, an Alw7500 at Beulah, a 5 year old horse I had followed fairly closely initially at Delaware over the last year since breaking her maiden in a first start Aug/06. Sweet Nichole has another start just 4 days after a win in a 5K claim. The trainer K Morgan seems to have decent stats that would suggest he knows what he is doing.

What would be the rationale for running back a decent horse (8-3-1-2) so soon who had just won a race, had never run on such short rest, and would seem to benefit from more time off before going to the post again.

Are we talking just an attempt at a quick buck here or are there circumstances that would make this a sensible move for a trainer and owner????
