Betsy,

Tiny Woods was in an ALW.. going 6f.. in his 4th career start. He got a 79 in his career debut and, after the fiasco at Saratoga, got an 80 in his 3rd start.

If you want to use the Beyers as a measure, Take Control is already ahead of Tiny Woods on the development curve getting an 80 in a debut race going a mile.
