Yes, absolutely. There is definitely a "seasonality" to this angle and we are nearing the end of it until the 2yos this autumn.
Some trainers are definitely more successful than others making this move. Chad, Baffert, Mott, Romans, Hollendorfer, Cox, Calhoun, McPeek win MSW to GS at 20+% clip. On the flip side, TAP has gone 0 for last 16 and O'Neill 1 for 20.
