Shortest time between races

I was wondering what is the shortest period of time between races that one single horse has ran. One day a horse might run and 30 days later they will run again. Sir Barton was one that caught my eye. He won the Derby and four days later he won the Preakness. Is it possible for a horse to run in and win a race then the next day run and win again? Like if a filly won the Kentucky Oaks and the next day ran in the Kentucky Derby and won, is that even possible? The only horse I know that has won an American Classic and its defacto distaff is Nellie Morse who won the Preakness and Black-Eyed Susan but they weren't back to back. I didn't know if there was rules saying a horse can't run in both. I have noticed that when a horse wins the Derby they are treated like fine China for two weeks after and if they win another three weeks it is the same routine.

One thing I would love to see is a horse win the Brooklyn and the Belmont. That would be a super horse to run a 1 1/2 mile race back to back.

Those in the Little Brown Jug might have to race 3 times in one day I think if there is a raceoff.

Sure , beat older horses at that distance and the run in the Belmont .
What would be the point ?

Sorry Racing Fan , don't mean to sound harsh , it's just tough enough to
watch some of the good ones make it through the Belmont . They are still
young runners .

At least you are have "polite harshness". When I first started on here I said something about changing the distance of the CCAO back to 1.5 miles and this person being very rude said

"You do know it ran at 1 1/2 miles for all of six years don't you? Of course you don't. It's now a prep for the Alabama and doing quite well in that role."

The thing is it was run from 1971 - 1989 at 1.5 miles. Whether or not they knew that is something I never assumed. To the person who wrote that thanks for being the first rude person I have met on this site. I haven't encountered many here. Thanks to all the friendly nice people here.

LOL , Most of our hearts are in the right place and we all enjoy the same
thing . You will be able to shrug some of these things off your shoulders soon enough .
There are some very good debates that go on here

When I owned the great mule Fancy she ran 220yards about 2:00pm at Ferndale. Later that night she started in an overnight endurance pack mule competition completing the 1st half of the race. 61 of 122 miles the next morning!!

The 2nd half was the next night. She performed like a champ. Went on to win a race at Fresno later that fair season.

There are some debates that can annoy the crap out of you as well. Like this horse from 1920 vs that horse from 1973. What people don't realize is that they ARE DEAD AND NOT COMING BACK. "The best debates are where nobody walks away hurt and everyone understand everybody else's point of view" I'm sorry even as I was writing that I could help but do this

I remember a mare named California Girl who won the last race in NY, shipped to Monmouth and won the first race the next day. That's the only time I remember seeing that on a major track. Happened around '72 or '73.

The fairs are another story. I remember one guy who ran his horse 6 days in a row and won 5 of them.... some crazy things happened at those fairs....

I believe Dutrow ran a horse in stakes on back to back days maybe 6-8 years ago. Think it ran at Monmouth one day and Philly/Parx the next (or vica versa). Can't remember the name of the horse.
