Your take on FS is estute in my estimation - long term pattern implications of all those real fast 2 yo numbers ( and the spacing of those race's as well ) are big questions for the horse and is likely the best argument for early retierment and not the distance issue . If FS did in fact bounce last time , it probably bode's well for his chances of making it out of his 3 yo year in one piece . If it were my call , I'd lay him off after the Derby ( unless he wins it ) untill the BC and w/ no preps , in an attempt to keep the prospect of breeding one day a viable one .
FS pattern might be showing early signs of deterioration even before he's out of his 2 yo campaign by virtue of not moving forward or backward off those big efforts .
