Of course what you say is correct.
However,the beauty of this is making the statement BEFORE the horse achieves the above.
Beating older horses @ WFA is obviously key to assess where a horse fits in,but clearly this filly won't be running in the Paddock and Majorca as a result of the $1 million dollar race,so we will have to wait a little longer for that.
