Crazy year...

I count nine, which is a dreadfully low number considering we're talking about a race that was 5.5 months ago. Interestingly, seven of those nine finished worse than 9th (Daddy Nose Best, Optimizer, Alpha, Trinniberg, Prospective, Take Charge Indy, Daddy Long Legs).

Less and less preps and longer rest between races appears to really establish long-term foundation for these horses.

I wonder what Tim Thornton has to say about this?
