take a look at Winning Colors 4yo campaign.
Take a look at ladys secret her last year of racing which ended when she bolted on the first turn of an allownace race and pulled herself up and just stood there as the crowd gasped.
Fillies, much moreso than colts(who are not immune from this) are much more prone to this.
Hell Storm Flag Flying had all of us waiting to see her at age three after that delicious two year old year. She had decided over the winter that she no longer cared about running. She eventually won a slow grade one with a perfect trip but never again after age two did she achieve great efforts.
I'm trying to figure out the logic of Joel's post and drawing a blank.
If a guy is a "magician" with a horse, and continues to train the horse, why would the same efforts not keep occurring?

would you consider Storm Flag Flying a great horse?
