We view early developers as horses that run fast early and don't develop much as they age. By much I mean a TGI improvement less than the 7 points the breed on average develops from 2 through 5 plus.
It's still too early to categorize Fusaichi Pegasus since his 2nd crop of 2yos are coming out this year. Obviously he's getting some very fast 2yos which would seem to indicate that he'll pass along traits similar to his sire Mr. Prospector who got early developing types in general.
Obviously the mares Fusaichi Pegasus mates with also play a role, and since a season with him costs $150K per pop, breeders' will want a return pretty quick.
I suppose early results is the tentative answer I have to answer your question but ultimately, obviously, time will tell.
