She made a lot of money last year, where do you fault Biancone for his management of her?

It wasn't just the number of races. I think that 11 races is a lot of races but if she was only running once a month then it wouldn't be so bad. He once brought her back in 11 days and then another time he brought her back on ony 2 weeks rest. Then another time he brought her back in 3 weeks. I couldn't believe it at the time. I couldn't figure out what he was doing. When you a really nice filly like that, there is no reason to be wheeling them back in 2 weeks.
He's actually been doing the opposite with Lady of Venice. He only runs her once every 2 months. I couldn't figure out if he was being conservative or if there is something wrong with her. It's not his style to be that conservative.
