Winning 6 or 7 days later?

Has there been a horse that’s won a race(stakes or Grade) then 6 - 7 days later, win again at the same level?

Conquistador Cielo won the Met Mile against older horses in very impressive fashion and 5 days later won the Belmont Stakes by 14 in 1982.

Many great horses in the past ran hard and often i.e every week in many instances and sometimes 3-5 days later.

The Derby Trial used to be 5 days before the Derby and many used it as a prep/tightner for the big race. The times have changed and the modern thoroughbred simply doesn't have the durability of horses from 20+ years back.

The horses in the lower level claiming ranks still tend to race more often than stakes horses. Some trainers want to get rid of them ASAP and I 've seen some run every week or every 2 weeks. Standardbreds usually race every 2 weeks; I think trotting or pacing the race is less hard on the horse than galloping with a rider on it's back.
