JB-

I'm sure you've considered this, but if you combine the "racehorses are getting faster" evidence with the "negative number before June 30 of 3YO year" evidence, the implications are fairly staggering.

As in no more triple crown winners. You'd need maybe one standout horse in an exceptionally poor crop. But the fact that we are seeing Neg numbers at 2turns from Cal Bred 3Yo's in January, combined with all your evidence on horses getting faster, obviously leads one to the conclusion that we will be seeing more, not less negative numbers.

And if those negative numbers cause large backward moves......it begins to look an awful lot like a 'Limit Function'
