Default 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...

This notice is to inform you that one or more of your horses has worked out.
Hurry Up Austin
Your Comment:

Date: September 27, 2008
Track: OAK TREE AT SANTA ANITA
Distance: Three Furlongs
Time: 34:40 Handily
Track Condition: Fast
Surface: All Weather Track
Rank: 1/23


He ran on the 3rd, ran a week ago (on the 21st) in the Hinds Invitational and again today in the Oak Tree Mile.

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

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.

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

Repeat.
