That's not my point Jimbo. Real Quiet & Silver Charm never went negative through the TC. Funny Cide & War Emblem tok it into new territory and were both left wanting in the Belmont. SJ & Barbaro moved into uncharted territory. The point is that as 3yo's go negative earlier and earlier (Cal Bred's going negative at 2 turns in january!!!!), and the evidence mounts that going negative has serious physical implications, then coming up with a pattern that enables you to win the Derby, then the following two legs, becomes close to impossible.
As you move into the negative #'s, the margin for error or difference in performance from race to race becomes non-existent.
