I agree that training (and breeding) has changed over the past century but these angles have held the last 20, 10, 5 years as well. Again, if I like Curlin, I'll bet Curlin but part of "liking" him is being able to convince myself that he can do what the likes of Pulpit, Indian Charlie and so many others couldn't.

LOL, I feel like Darth Vader....Curlin won't do it so your angles will be safe another year.

I think the racing at two thing also brings in the fact lot's of good horses race at an early age. If they are well breed the owners are more inclined to race them early because they were bought at an early sale. Late foals are another thing as is an early problem with their body's.
