The thing that annoys me in this particular issue is that when it comes to 2yos, you have very few opportunities to bounce back from the damage that comes from mistakes when trying to make 2yo race horses out of horses that are not forward enough to do so. More often than not the damage is done and it's more often than not permanent.
People who have trained horses and learned from mistakes ( often called hindsight Brenno) will tell you the dangers are real, people who have a product to sell may tell you what they need to tell you in order to sell the product.....and if you get caught, that would be seen from the benefit of hindsight too mighten it?
Sometimes people need to make their own mistakes, it just annoys me when it's the horse that is the one that suffers the most.
