Replying to an old thread here, but I am in the midst of reading this book and I absolutely love it.
I do have question however:
In the book, when talking about 3 improving 3 year olds, Quinn indicates that one can expect an improvement in next race from a "LIGHTLY RACED" 3YO early in the season, if they fire off "Paired Tops" (Lifetime best speed figure followed by a similar effort next time out).
At what point can you say that a 3YO is not lightly raced. For example, Bluegrass Singer in the Holy Bull this weekend, has raced 7 times. He has put very solid wire to wire efforts up with strong liftetime best speed figures. Would he qualify as a "Lightly Raced" horse or not?
It's probably a longshot someone would be able to provide insight here, but I thought it was a good question.
