The "garbage can" analogy is hard to argue with. Chris or whoever came up with this sub-6 jinx is really onto something.

As a fan, I appreciate the brilliant efforts no matter how short-lived they are. It's quite a dilemma -- would you rather see 2yo's popping off sub-6 efforts and getting burned out, or see them run 10's and last a little while longer...?

All I know is that Arazi-like superstar performances are both breath-taking and memorable. I wouldn't trade those for a moderate stretch rally by Forego anyday.

Side note... I've always wondered what Arazi ran in his BC Juv win on the TG scale. With the wide trip, margin of victory, and level of competition (Bertrando 2nd), it had to be awesome. Does anyone know exactly what he ran?
