"In the 1990s, when Beyer figures became a regular feature of DRF, there were several Eclipse-winning Thoroughbreds whose best figure rose 20-30 points or more in the several months between the summer of their juvenile year and the start of their three-year-old season. As Casey Stengel said, you can look it up."
Which ones? Charasmatic is the only one that remotely fits the description for me, and he did it going long, where it is much easier for a horse to improve his figures. And lets not act like this improvement occurred in May after laying off in June or July. The horse had a two month break and returned in JANUARY.

What seems odd to me is that someone so obviously thorough as yourself would publicly discredit an article you hadn't bothered to read in its entirety.
In response to a comment to that article, Kling referred his readers to the following article from which I won't distract you with any quotes:
