I didn't post anything on the NYRA page --- just got into cat fights about it on the pages of two seperate female friends on my friends list ... both of them were tremendously comical!

No less than Man O' War himself started his career on June 6th, then ran back on the 9th, then the 21st, then the 23rd, then the 5th of July. He started his career with 5 races inside 4 weeks.
He was then rested until early August. In August he ran on the 2nd, 13th, 23rd and 30th. After his loss in the Sanford, (Aug 13) he wasn't sent to the farm, seen by a battalion of vets or handwalked for 6 weeks. He was back in 10 days and never lost again.

How about Old Rosebud, who ended his career with 40 wins from 80 (!) starts. At two he ran in early FEB and early MAR. He was rested and shipped from Juarez to KY where he ran 6 times in May, including starts on the 1st, 17th (layoff?) 19th, 23rd, 26th and 31st. This clearly knocked him for a loop as he only raced 3 times in June. All this was in his 2yo year. Too bad he was ruined and could only go 2 for 3 at 3 including an 8 length win in the Derby. (He was up the track in the Withers, at the time a VERY important race and then was off for almost 3 years but he came back and raced 'til age 11.)

Here are a few are the claw scratching comments I recieved:

Ohh For God's Sake. @ Doug so THIS is your measure of if a trainer is running a horse too frequently, if it gets vanned off the track or not???? Holy Eight Bells. So as long as the horse doesn't suffer a Catastophic injury or Death it's not running too much. Do you fight dogs as well? Realy, I mean what's the differece? They are bred for 1 reason, they are trained, when every last dime is wrung out of them, they are discarded. Tell me Ohhh Wise and compassionate one, just what in Christs name do think will be sound in wind and limb, in tendons, cartilage, bursas, stomach lining, good lord, brain, when this filly finaly crashes? What does this filly DO THEN? Huh? Who do you think will buy this filly when her trainer pounds her into the Ground??? WHERE DOES SHE GO THEN? Can she come live the rest of her life out with you? No? So now that she has given her all on the track is what waits for her a captive bolt to the brain?

Yes -- Lori -- this daughter of Tale of the Cat out of an A. P. Indy mare who made over 80K in her first five dirt races and has run multiple Beyer's in the 80's as a 3yo filly .... surely no one will want her. She is either going to come live with me in Erie or "get a captive bolt to the brain" ... the latter probably being the more humane option.

Why are you ducking her question about your dog fighting connections?
