Wild Again



"I might entreat the fleeting minute.
Oh, tarry yet, though art so fair..."
(Goethe)

Coming along in the early eighties, Wild Again brackets my own time in horse racing, and so a little personal nostalgia with his passing. Considering the great races, certainly 87, 88, 89 with Alysheba and Sunday Silence, but in rating them, all time, the little voice inside always comes back to: what about that first Breeder's Cup Classic with Wild Again?

Hey RR-

Very insightful findings, even though everyone seems to follow the same (lack of) consistent frequency.

I heard Barry Abrams talking on TVG one day about training/racing with more frequency, can you dig up any details on his barn?

Me again-

I swear I heard on TVG today about Dutrow running the same horse 3 times in an 8 day span, with 2 wins and a place.

He killed one several months back running twice in 3 days, which will happen if you train so sparingly, as I imagine he does.
