It should be a must to demand at least one 3 furlong workout within 30 days. I believe the main reason you don't see it at tracks that have 45 or 60 days rules is because of soreness issues (a diligent track vet may put the horse the horse on the vet list after the workout, and from a business standpoint, many outfits would at least be able to race for money before being put on the vet list).
To me, a horse that can't handle a 30 day workout is dangerous, not just to themselves and their jockey, but other horses it is racing against.
I don't have stats on horses who breakdown without 30 dayers but I wouldn't be shocked if it was much higher than horses who have missed over a month but have a workout.
And I also think that demanding a 30 day workout protects the Horseplayer a little more too.
