Stormryder's 1.53.1 was sensational for a 2yo over 2240m but it should be noted that School Captain rated exactly the same in last years 2yo Breeders Crown

3yo Arcee Phoenix's 1.56.8 was only 1.4 secs outside Majestic Man's open 2240m Tk Rec

Lastly, the reason Susan Is Her Name was able to do what she did was pretty much natural improvement from 2yo to 3yo for although she gave herself a massive handicap at the start the race time was pretty much identical to what she ran as a 2yo in beating Rockinwithattitude in last year's Breeders Crown
