It's not like they're running a 3 mile race. It's one mile. A f.ucking mile for a horse. It's like asking Michael Johnson to run a 1600 and then take two months off.
Which makes it a shame that a horse like Clubhouse Ride is off the Derby trail. Clubhouse Ride has started 11 times in his career, which makes him an iron horse by today's standards.
