So much for horses needing 4 to 5 weeks rest

Hell, in 1987 Gulch ran in the Gotham, won the Wood two weeks later, ran in the Derby in another two weeks, the Preakness, beat olders in the Met Mile nine days later, and then ran in the Belmont 12 days after that.

I don't think it had a negative affect on him.
