I was specifying horses that run in all 3 TC races and run well in all 3 races. Verrazano only ran in one TC race.

Oh, so the spacing is only taxing if you're competitive. And the ones who win typically are given very little chance to follow up because no one wants a dirty resume hitting the stud fee too much.
Yeah, you're right. A bigger break would guarantee more starts for classic winners.
