A horse's work at a 2YO sale definitely influences my opinion because it gives me an opinion about a horse before he has even run. This is not to my detriment. Quite to the contrary, it makes me a lot of money betting. It often makes me more money in their 2nd or even 3rd career starts than in their debut. It's not easy to win first-time out. I obviously couldn't bet the horse yesterday because he was no price but there are plenty of times where these horses will just run mediocre first-time out and will come back and win 2nd time out or even 3rd time out.
