I don't understand why an injury= failure on some of the ones mentioned. Pulpit was a monster who according to you "disappointed" in winning the Bluegrass before an injury ended his career in running 4th in the Derby behind Silver Charm.
Tell me again why Empire Maker disappointed. The foot issue likely cost him the Derby, but that race was between a double digit length win in the Florida Derby and a Belmont win. That's not a failure. Injuries cost him a chance to prove what he may have ultimately been capable of doing, but again it's not a failure.
Basically the list here is of great juveniles that didn't develop further or had careers interrupted by injuries....
