Or even if it’s not a soundness issue, if they weren’t developed enough to run at two, you’re asking them to come a long way in a short time, and to earn points while doing it, which puts an immature horse under a lot of stress. Yeah, it can be done— Baffert did it, and Asmussen came close (Curlin), but it’s tough— special horses, special trainers.
