What am I missing?

He could have pointed him for the BCC and raced him a week earlier somewhere. He didn't because the race is in Ca. and on pro ride. And this the horse needs 49 days to recover not 42 is bordering on insanity. I suggest if the race was at Belmont 42 days recover would be just fine for 5 mil. |
