I should probably retract that statement about removing the big money from 2 year old racing because it is taking away the choice to race a horse that has matured early but I do know over many years
I have seen many outstanding young horses show great promise as a 2 year old and when bought back for their 3 & 4 year old campaign have been extremely disappointing. Harvey gives some good examples
of horses that have raced on but I guarantee there are just as many that haven't and you would be hoping that a 2 year old that's shown superiority over its rivals to continue the pattern.
