NYRA to no longer accept entries from horses who ran <14 days ago

[senator L]

I think this will cause more breakdowns as the trainer
will tell the jock make sure you don't lose by 25.
Many times you see the jock give up when the horse doesn't have it

could you imagine if Pimlico had the 14-day rule?

Ky Derby horses couldn't run in the Preakness.

Good thing the Belmont is 3-weeks after the Preakness.

One thing that might be missed is that the owner cashes down to 5th place. The trainer and jockey only cash to 3rd. I've always had issues with jockeys that quit on me when they were out of the top 3. Sure it's only a couple hundred dollars, but it helps.

Anyone remember Shifty Sheik ?
