I suppose this should be an entirely seperate topic but it struck a few nerves. A friend had a beautiful, sinfully fast filly who trained in 1:57 on a 5/8 at 2 back when 1:57 was like 1:52 now. But she was a total head case. Couldn't be rated. Complete runaway. Wouldn't go behind the gate, spooked by everything she saw and she saw everything. Never raced.
I had a big, good looking, clean gaited Egyptian Dancer colt who maxed out at 2:17 after training down like a nice one. Very disappointing.
