Obviously early season 2yo Beyers are tricky - they seem to come back VERY fast in races at distances shorter than six furlongs - and when they run in routes, especially two turn ones, the times always prove much slower than expected.

Top early 2yo's can show short term speed on par with the fastest of elite sprinters. However, the further they go, the more they struggle..at least until late season.

However, even with the A. P. Indy - and the Beyer figure that was a 1/20 shot to improve markedly with that time between starts - that horse was still to much of a reach I thought.
