Okay, this string has definitely become too one-sided. Let's even it up a bit. The NYT, as it exists (not as you may want to fondly remember it), is in big trouble. That's not opinion, that's fact. And it will continue slouching toward Bethlehem until the Sulzburgers realize that their financial well-being precludes allowing Pinch S. to march to the drummers of political correctness until he runs it into the ground. (Take a breath)
The conclusion drawn by the editorial is that three yr. old thoroughbreds are immature. Yes, we all know they don't mature until five. Not racing them until five is economically untenable. Anyone who has more than a kindergarten level of knowledge about this game knows that. It seems to me that the purpose of imallin's post was to call attention to this. And he's not wrong.
Since this is a horseracing board I'll cut this diatribe short by simply saying the NYT is a mirror image of the New York Post. That is, The Post is a right-wing rag and the Times has become a left-wing rag.
