Itsallgreektome won a Grade 3 at Bay Meadows against fellow 3yos before nearly taking down the BC Mile in '90. It goes back to the idea that young horses can progress fairly rapidly.
While in 2002 Indian Charlie would have been dodging tomatoes for predicting such, the fact that Johar DID win the BC Turf the following year takes a lot of the absurdity out of the prediction.
