I'd love to see the percentages of these horses that ever pan out....like you said, the speed at which a 2yo performs undertack at a sale is the most overrated, overhyped nonsense that you can buy into.
Most of them are so buckshinned afterward they're laid up for 60-90 days anyhow...
It's terrible for the horses; It's sole purpose is to help separate lazy morons with deep pockets and no clue, from an inordinate amount of money that they can't wait to throw away on the next Derby winner, because we all know the fastest horse in the auction = DERBY WINNAR!!1!. Every year.
