Take a look at Shark in the 6th at Churchill.
They better retire Smarty after this year
Not sure who Shark is but campaigning a two year old as early as June 5th is probably not starting a Triple Crown aspirant on the right track.

Prior to this trend, lots of horses ran early and went on to win classics.
