7 days, my bad, way back when sure, but the animal has changed....

They could also go into the Lexington.

If they were to do it, the Lexington makes more sense, but they are going to sit on the horse. They have probably a 50/50 chance of getting in....

The animal hasn't changed at all. The approach has.

The 'understanding' has changed, trainers and owners realize that by spacing out races, they get more efficient and productive runs.

The understanding of what? The animal?

Check the Australian Group One Runners and their PP's to see how inefficient and unproductive 7 and 14 day spacing is.

If everyone was doing the same thing then others would do it too. Since the guys with the best horses are spacing races the rest of the sport follows along. If you have good horses and start running back quick or break a few down you risk losing your business. If someone were to start doing it and winning, the risk would be much more acceptable.
