I'm not sure he'd win a 5K claimer off the basis of those races. If he doesn't have a big issue ... he's sour as hell. I don't think he was run into the ground.

Yeah, as far as Munnings go, it was a bad example. I was really only referring to his last couple of races as the type of meltdown that a more heavily campaigned horse might suffer after a long season.

I can't really think of any off the top of my head, but a decent Lukas example would be that Robert Lewis horse he buried on the Triple Crown trail a couple of years ago, I think the name was Going Wild, going from a 6f maiden at Santa Anita in December all the way to the Wood Memorial (he might have even run in the Lexington or Derby) with a race somewhere every 2-3 weeks.
