I guess they mean it doesn't help you predict who will win the TC races 10 months from now.....which is obvioulsy true. But I mean, come on, they still mean something. It was still a stakes race. They do give out an eclipse award for 2yo and I would think graded stakes wins probably are a factor in determining that.
If all you care about is the TC races then I suppose you are correct, they don't mean anything. I enjoy watching 2yo racing for its own sake, and NOT because I may be watching a horse that might possibly compete in the Kentucky Derby.
No, it means 2yr olds change quickly and you haven't see most of them yet.
This horse is not one of the best "2yr olds in the last ten years" which is really the argument being made by one poster on this thread. That statement is insanity.
