I believe they breakin ok but don't show much early, the more u do with them the better they get, i've heard good trainers say they are twice as fast at 3 then when they were 2 400-700m.
I have always felt a lot of his pups were sacked on breakers reports but those who persevered to 2 yrs plus ended up with good quality racers.
