Obviously I have very little knowledge of TB development, but I have read the scientific knowledge you refer to. I was just pointing out how irrelevant the 24 months thing actually is because of (a) when CD actually runs and (b) how very few May foals run in April at Keeneland and even fewer June foals run in May at CD (or Calder or Arlington, for that matter.)
