Steve Haskin's recent column mentioned the two-prep thing, and while he didn't seem to think it's will continue to be a bet against for winning the Derby, he did think it is a huge negative in terms of a horse's long-term career-- after such light careers, horses can't handle three races in five weeks and aren't able to come back after the campaign because these days they don't have the foundation.
