I think she makes a good point. They were racing him every two months last year, at the expense of both the Whitney and JCGC, and now they are running him on three weeks rest. Your point is valid as a general sentiment, but considering the handling of this horse, it's very surprising.

And, I don't agree that the Sunshine Millions was close to " basically a five-eighths work. "

Their need for a Grade I is the driving force I'm sure. I agree that it makes no sense given the laid back approach of 2012. Especially when he exits the worst race of his career.
