You have to go a 1 turn mile or right to a 1 1/8th, that's too much for 3yo's that early, it's rediculous...
I don't think it will be the norm with a 5 week layoff, it happened once in a long time and it took a special horse to do it...
You can't compare Invasior and GZ to prepping for the Derby, they were older horses...
