if fit, why not run? isn't that the point?!

well certainly if they can take the racing.. some horses just wouldnt be able to run up to or near to form in 3 G1s within 3 weeks (Imagine Discreet Cat doing that!!) but the person who knows the horse the best - the trainer wouldnt want to ruin a potentially top class horse.. I commend him for the effort.. they tried for something that seemed impossible and had to settle for something that has only been done once before (1st in English/Irish Guineas) when Attraction did it in 2004!

oh absolutely it depends on the horse--and having a trainer who knows the horse. they don't all need breaks between, i wish that wasn't such a given anymore.
