Leo O'Brien actually sent out horses after two days rest on consecutive days last winter. so in four days he got 4 starts from two horses.

What were the conditions, though?

Leo O'Brien and Allen Jerkens have been known to sprint a horse (assumingly as a glorified workout) in anticipation of a route race a couple of days later (Fourstars Allstar was a good example, I think he ran in the Laurel Dash and showed up a couple of days later in the International).

Its one thing to run a horse on short rest when the initial start could, at least on paper, be labeled as a "tune-up" and a whole other thing if a horse is meant to be all out in both races (which often times is not good for business).
