SOCal,
I agree that the sample is too small to be certain, but the stat is sort of consistent with common sense. If I knew close to nothing about conditioning horses, my first guess would be that it takes a lot of preparation to get a lightly raced 3YO ready for the 10F of the Derby.
The most important point though is that there's cleary ZERO evidence that this is the right way to go. So it's either bad or neutral. I want to be compensated for the "possibility" this is a bad idea until we know more.
