How is a horse allowed to race sunday back tuesday

[Winners Win]

I Want My Money just finished 2nd at nfld and is scheduled to race Tuesday at NFLD.  Why is this allowed?

[Dingus]

It’s Clegg.  What more do you expect from them?  They’re known for that.

Ive noticed the great state of maine allows that as well. Especially during the fair season. Hard to believe i almost sent horses to race in that pathetic state

 Do you feel the same about Ohio?

 I'm guessing the horses weren't much, if you debated sending them to Maine.

 Kind of a strange reason to call Maine a "pathetic State" over that.
Unless you have other reasons not listed or unknown.

back the 80s--Herve won the Open handicap at Yonkers on a Saturday night with Eastern Skipper

came back the next night and won the Open at Liberty Bell

In an era where "horse safety" is supposedly on everyone's radar, it is hard to believe there isn't a rule against it.

It's their horse, their choice. Get your own horse, race 'em once a month, treat 'em like T-Bred if you want.

you must not recall Steve Lobell winning the Hambletonian in 75 or 76

they needed 4 heats to determine the winner

why is it allowed
simply because he could not get in on Monday

Back at the old Georgetown Raceway in Delaware, at least 1/2 the horses ran on Friday night and came back and ran Sunday afternoon. A few ran Saturday night and back again Sunday afternoon. In those days the purses for all the races were only $500 regardless of the class.

Jim Lynch, the racing secretary at the time wasn’t happy when Herve entered the horse at Yonkers since he needed him at Liberty Bell. Herve said no problem he can race in both.

if my memory serves me correctly, Mr. Filion came back to the winners circle at the Bell standing on the seat of his racebike....
Same as the Jug he won with Hot Hitter....a great showman, how many races could he have won?

I bet Eastern Skipper in both races...the channel 9  WOR show with Bergstein and Ross would come on at 11:30-i would bet early(my father booked my bets)then wait for the 11:30 show to watch the races on delay

We went to Liberty Bell that Sunday night--the Saturday race obviously wasn't on the program lines--but several in the crowd avoided Eastern Skipper because he had just raced the night before at Yonkers

my mentality was the opposite--if Herve raced the next night-that told me the horse was razor sharp

he paid $8.00 to win at Liberty Bell

one of those "Herve moments" we all have somewhere buried in our memory banks

Jim Lynch was an outstanding race secretary--he had to try and get M1 horses to race at Liberty Bell-but the purses were not nearly as good and it wasn't easy--Sunday nights many M1 invaders would race at LB and usually raced very well

M1 racing(and casinos in Atlantic city) eventually were the reasons Liberty Bell , Brandywine and Roosevelt were shuttered

There is a rule before the usta that would require a 3 day rest.  Another would restrict 2 year olds to 20 races, 3 year olds 25 starts and aged horses 35 starts a year.
