New World Record 4.5 F........on polytrack

[Merlinsky]

There was some speculation as to how long it would take before One Hot Wish gets injured, retired, and bred to Unbridled's Song at age 3.

Here's a question for everybody, does it help when a stallion who's thought of as having potential for late developing offspring has a 2yo go blazing fast or is it really just a form of overcompensating that everyone can smell a mile away? That most of the offspring won't really be capable of that or stay sound if pushed that hard that soon. Will those 2yo with breeding that doesn't, in the slightest, indicate precocity even amount to anything on the track and will the plan to make it appear as if the best offspring are really super secret sprinters (and ergo commercial) be foiled?

I mean does anybody really expect Lemon Drop Kid's babies to rock 6 furlongs without a good swift kick to the butt? Maybe I'm not being fair. I'm just curious because I can get it if they say certain sires had flashy 2yo sales horses but sometimes you go "Really? They were by who? Nah you're messing with me."
