if anything will keep three year olds around longer, it's the bursting bubble in the breeding business. but first year stallions are still a huge draw, so i don't see any changes in the forseeable future. there's still a lot more money to be made with a top horse in the barn, rather than on the track. and as long as darley is a huge player, they can afford to pay outrageous sums for the best of each bunch.
