re: 2017 Preakness Discussion w/ Post Positions & Odds

i for the life of me, do not understand why people send their horses to a trainer, who cannot train a horse to run more than in a 2 minute race more than 1 time a month, because pletcher can't . Pletcher started the whole fad of skipping the preakness for the belmont


People used to, still do really, shite on baffert and lucas and call them quarter horse trainers as they couldn't get a horse to run long and honestly their arguments had merit, but this is worse.


i watch aussie racing a nd it really isn't a thing for a horse to run 3 times... in 10 days. I had missed a few of black caviar's races (mare sprinter who went 25 for 25) because she had just run and i thought it was going to be another 3-4 weeks before she ran and she as running back in like 5-6 days. they run on turf and turf is easier on horses than dirt is but still. The cox plate is what 3 days before the melborne cup an horses run in both all the time.
