You did a good job. Â I like the concept of shutting down the 2 year olds who are not stakes contenders and bringing them back to beat up on (hopefully) softer competition in December - March. Â If they look to have taken a big step forward (like Timeisonmyside), then give them some strategic breaks in the spring and summer. Â You also give them a benefit of resting them now when they start hitting that next growth spurt. Â
Now if they raced well enough to qualify and contend in some stakes finals, then you should stay the course. Â There is no guarantee that they come back better in relative terms to the competition.
Best of luck to you. Â He is a nice colt.
