7/23-24 (DMR): Read (G1), Osunitas; Clemente (G2), Cal Dreamin'

If he was trained by Jeff Bonde, then, he would be getting at least 45 days between starts. We wouldn't be having this discussion. He would be treated like Bonde's Grade 1 sprinter is treated. Machowsky admitted he shouldn't of brought him back on 3 weeks rest. There are signs of him finally getting his head out of his ass, and spacing this horse's races better. Losing at 7/5, and 4/5 will wake a trainer up.

Is the Grade 1 sprinter you're talking about named Smiling Tiger?

You know, the one that is scheduled to run in the Bing Crosby next weekend, 28 days after his last start...

Never mind his once-a-month schedule all of last year.

Talk about bullsh!t.

As for Machoswky, the "ran him back too quick" line is classic trainerspeak. The horse ran fine today given the race dynamics. At any rate, Caracortado has never even won a race off 8 weeks rest.

Absolutely agree, he ran fine. Actually had the fastest final eighth in a race where pace absolutely made the result.

Has it dawned on anyone that Caracortado is now winless on turf since his big restricted stakes win that was supposed to make him a major player in the division? He has been horribly overrated since the Sunshine Millions race.

I agree with the sentiment that he could have been returning in 60 or 600 days yesterday and was never going to touch Acclamation with the way the race unfolded.
