To Be honest I don't think its a short Turn around at All we have horses running at 2 different tracks this weekend that could definitely earn their way into the BC. Your looking at Oct 5,6, and 7th with the Breeders Cup being on Nov 2nd and 3rd. Thats almost 4 weeks between Starts. Plus the shipping is not a big thing either. All of ours if they make it will go by Tex Sutton which is a 5 or 6 hour plane ride. Not sure of the exact date when we would go but somewhere around the week before (depending on when tex is going). Actually I think it is a perfect set up for all of our horses the timing and every thing. Just my Opinion

Are we at that point in the game where we view 4 weeks between races as being too short?

God I hope not.

you must not have read the article where they talked about wise dan coming 'right back on just 20 days rest' in the shadwell. i thought, really? this is a big deal? it'll be his 5th start of the year.
