General query: Why do presumedly savvy trainers put their young horses in stakes race when all they have done is beat up on non-winners, without testing them against winners? I can understand early in the 2yo season because they don't write allowance and/or conditions races for 2yos in the first half of the year anymore. But there are plenty of "non-winner of one other than" races around for new 3yos just now. WHy run them in a stakes before you know that they can handle winners? Especially when "he didn't go particularly fast or earn a high [speed figure]."?
