I know this horse, dude. Scarface is one of my favorite horses. When he loses a tough race against a Grade 1 horse, he needs way more than 3 weeks rest. He totally empties his tank. Whether it be Sydney's Candy (in the San Felipe,) Fluke (in the Kilroe,) or Courageous Cat (in the Shoemaker.) Give him 8 weeks, and he will put another great effort in.

Oh, in hindsight, Machowsky now agrees... C student with an A horse.

If for some reason he does run him right back, it is worth noting that, according to Trakus, Burns had the second-fastest final quarter in any of the mile turf races so far, doing it better than Mr. Commons, Anniversary Girl, and anyone in today's speedy second, which had a final time faster than the Oceanside.
Burns also ran 30 feet farther than the average horse drawn from post two going a mile at Del Mar, and 21 feet farther than the average of all horses over the trip Last edited by PatCummings : 07-23-2011 at 11:05 PM.

You realize that other than Caracortado sticking his nose in front of Smart Bid at the wire, there was not a single change in position throughout the race? That is, other than Acclimation drawing farther and farther away from the rest of the field. If Caracortado's form seems inconsistent it's because of race dynamics, bad racing luck, and surface switches (which may continue if he runs next on the main track in the Pacific Classic).

The is more to the past performances than just the dates the races were run on. Either way, we're both simply making excuses for a horse that probably isn't Grade 1 caliber when it is all said and done.

Why is 8 weeks the equivalent of a "full tank"?

I guess it's easier to just come up with a magic number and spew it as Scripture. I say he needs 7 weeks. 8 weeks is too much. After all, he lost the Shoemaker after 8 weeks off.
