At the risk of creating a frenzy.....plenty of very fast 2YOs have gone on to be even faster 3YOs. If these horses are for real then they will move forward. These are hardly the fastest 2YOs evah.

how can you possibly tell anything about the two year olds until they go two turns? plus those races are the worst betting events on the BC card...usually. uncle mo 8-5.......boys....9-5.. i'm giving them those odds because the money will get split up...when one of them romps at 9 furlongs i'll start thinking they are good. every year its the same thing and the BC winner in this race is almost always a dud ....later. not that one of them might be good....but these numbers are useless for predicting longer distances...i don't see how this tranlates to them being fast at 3 years old and 4 yo...what makes you think they will be racing then? the game does not work that way (very much) anymore 2yo and 3yo are like different careers. with all the good racing those two days these are the races i avoid. heard the same crap about war pass a few years ago,,,..the horse could not make the distance in his dreams.... but he was the best 2 yo ever.....lol
