4 days later, the great Pernel Bagwandeen sends him out for a 6.5f dash (Clm 5k), wins his third in a row and Michael Thomas claims him back.
7 days later (Saturday) he is going to run 7f (Clm 6250) looking for his fifth in a row (he won at Calder last June).

That is 3 races in 11 days and 4 races in 22 days. I realize he has been printing money for 22 days, but when does this poor horse get a rest?

That's no biggy... Golden Man ran 26 races in 25 days all up hill in the rain with Dutrows mom in the irons..

No no no no no. The horse is being abused because he is winning. That's the point.

He finished 2nd going 5 wide throughout and hung late in this recent 7F test.
