I laughed. Lots of 2yos earn Beyers of about 104 and 110 (at a mile) and have the speed to run 6f in 1:08 4/5, 7f in 1:21 1/5, and also win the 9f Haskell as a 3yo. For whatever it's worth, McCarron once said that up to a mile, Sunday Silence and Easy Goer wouldn't have known what hit them. That's good enough for me. I've never limited what I think is good to what's good at nine or 10 furlongs on dirt.
