Yeah, nothing beats running often, like the old days. Harness horses running 3 heats in one day, now that's pretty cool to watch.
In the old days, a horse would arrive by train for a stakes race the morning of, run a published work, and then run in the race later in the afternoon, and repeat the feat again the next week.
It was something when Conquistador Cielo won the Belmont on just 4 days rest from the grueling Met Mile.
