Maybe a one prep schedule for the Derby is the right answer for a Triple Crown run??

This has become almost absurd in some ways.

Is it possible that Godolphin has a "program" that doesn't work best on 2 weeks rest for a myriad of possible reasons? Do withdrawal times matter? I have no idea but it is their horse and they can do as they please. My belief is Godolphin made this decision and that this wasn't Mott. I've seen the Mott is "3 for 58 on 2 weeks or less stat" but my guess is that Godolphin is calling the shots on not running in the Preakness. Could very well be wrong but Mott gets his first real Derby win and doesn't want to try Baltimore? Hmmm. . .

Would be interesting to see how fast Appleby ever returned one off of a big effort.

Unrelated, I started reading Death of a Racehorse last evening. Should be an interesting read in today's hay and oats world of horse racing.
