Sorry Spalding, that's not good enough.

I didn't say it was good enough. Nevertheless, there was more productivity from the 3yo crop--whether you think it "counts" or not--then the author of the linked article was letting on...
The main point was that the record of Accelerate's vanquished rivals was paltry at best. Just 4 victories from 3 horses despite dozens of starts. How do you reconcile that when you are quick to cut down the horses behind Justify?
