For the fragile modern thoroughbred, and for a horse with obvious health problems, five races in ten weeks was probably a lot.

So, your premise is that a world class turf sprint trainer like Rice would over run a horse (clearly looking to get it claimed) that had the potential to become a main turf sprint player? And, run races it had never run in the past. Clearly, Rice was blind when it came to this late bloomer.
