Lost Treasure
When he runs Saturday in the BC Turf Sprint, it will be his 3rd race in 19 days (with a cross Atlantic flight thrown in), his 5th race in 28 days (including a flight from Ireland to France & back), his 8th race 94 days.
Is this the way most European trainers train? Is this the norm for Aidan O'Brien? Has he not gotten around to reading Chad Brown's book?
In this race he'll be FT Lasix ON, blinkers OFF, & shedding 13# from two of his last three imposts, 7# from the other. Is this part of some plan or just throwing a pile of shit at a wall and hoping something sticks?
