I'm rather surprised that in discussing top 2yos that the name of Buckpasser hasn't come up. Won 9 of 11, including the Champagne and Hopeful, lost the Futurity when forced to run closer to the pace than he liked.
There have been two British-raced superwinners at 2 in the last few decades. Timeless Times, 1988, by Timeless Moment-Lovely Hobo, by Noholme II, won 16 of 21 starts at 2 and was listed-placed; similarly, Provideo, 1982, Godswalk-Nadwa, by Tyrant, won 16 races at two from I think it was 18 starts and was a listed winner.
