Of course they will, but the same would be true of 3yos, 4yos, and older. The problem, of course, is that very few horses go that long without lasix these days.

That said, I've been measuring performance of 2yos and projecting improvement into the figures for years, so when I talk about "faster" it excludes a lot of the natural maturation. I know every horse is different, but it works very well.
