Obviously that's what you believe so why waste time arguing, the simple fact is that no horse without a two year old race has won the Derby since 1882. We've discussed the research that implies that two year old racing and training for a race is very important in a young horse's bone/muscle development so there is at least implied basis for that angle. If you can find research that applies to 3yo racing in February then that can be discussed.
