Both Whirlaway and Citation ran between the Preakness and the Belmont. Whirly won the Belmont in his 27th start and THEN after the TC, with a race in between, he came back on June 21st to win the Dwyer.

Race horses ought to race. That said, I agree that T'berg is in at the wrong class and distance.

Teuflesburg seems like an iron horse but as Linny just said he belongs in different races. I don't think he's as good as some but he certainly deserves a chance to run in races he MIGHT be competitive. What would be so bad about races like the sprint on Preakness day that is restricted to 3YOs, the Woody Stephens, the Amsterdam and the King's Bishop?

It's a shame to see her running him in so many seemingly inappropriate spots.

the trainer is like 2/50 this year, obviously spotting any of her horses to win is not her strong point, she is taking the zito and jerkins philosophy to the extrerme.
