I really shouldn't say this but I will. It is now better for horse racing and fans that a small group of highly talented three year olds in early Spring get injured for five months and are forced to sit it out and make a comeback at four. Take Charlatan. Do you think if he had won the Belmont in June, and he would have been the favorite had he run, that he would be running as a four year old? Not a chance, he would be off to the breeding shed like Authentic. His injury was a blessing for those who want to see him run and possibly achieve greatness. I never want to see a horse get seriously injured, but a minor one with a full recovery is what is needed now to have a stellar older division.
