A few quick hitters related to these topics.
1. American Anthem for Winstar Farm has been nominated to the Met Mile. He hasn't raced since October 17th. Trainer Bob Baffert.
2. As for Justify, I understand the idea of foundation, racing experience at 2, etc but Big Brown had only 1 start at 2, Hofburg had 1 start at 2, Magnum Moon no starts at 2, Justify no starts at 2, Materialility no starts at 2, etc. It is headed more and more in this direction as Ajkreider mentioned.
3. As for the Triple Crown horses of the 70's:
Affirmed: 9 starts at 2 from May through late October. [b]Unraced all of Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb.[/b] 4 preps from March 8th forward.
Seattle Slew: 3 starts at 2 Sept through Oct. [b]Unraced all of Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb.[/b] 3 preps from March 9th forward. Undefeated headed into Derby.
Secretariat: 9 starts at 2 from July through Nov 18. [b]Unraced almost exactly 4 months.[/b] 3 preps from March 17th forward.
Looking for a Triple Crown winner? Start them back in March after a break from racing during Dec, Jan, and Feb. based on AP, Affirmed, Seattle Slew, and Secretariat. Maybe Justify is up against it having started in February haha!!
