High Finance, for example, didn't even debut until he was a 3YO.

Shouldn't they become one hit wonders though?
There's only been one trainer since '98 that has won with more 2yo debuters at Saratoga than Violette - and his name is Todd Pletcher and he's had over a hundred more to debut than Violette.
