He said with no hesitation any T-Bred.

Your thoughts?

I'm sure there are some in here that can help me with specific names but I can recall a few instances on TVG and HRTV where they showed specific trainers stats in these "quick turnaround" situations. In the instances they showed it was actually exactly the opposite of a play against situation. I worked for a trainer in Maryland who would run a horse back in a week on occassion and was pretty successful. In one particular instance we ran a horse at Timonium 2X in 6 days. She ran second the 1st time and won the 2nd.
