The Calumet horses usually used the Trial and they won more Derbies than anyone in history. Alydar's Blue Grass was 9 days before the Derby. Today if you tried that you'd be called a "butcher" by hordes of online fans who wouldn't know which end of a horse to feed and which end to clean up after.

works between races has supplanted races between races. makes you wonder why, as horses don't earn crap for a work, regardless of how fast it is.
