It's a double edged sword because he has to win every race now.
Not sure if he really has physical issues that dictate such a schedule, but he certainly could have fit the Gulfstream Park Handicap, Oaklawn Handicap, Suburban, and Jockey Club Gold Cup in there and been a lot more memorable for some fans (even if he lost a couple).
