5 yo FTS?

[raybo]

Delta Downs tonight, race 10, #3 Greatest Glory. This race is for 5 yos and this horse is a "first time starter", at age 4.76 years. Does anybody have any info on this one? It's a gelding so maybe he had temperament problems that kept him from being raced, and the decision was finally made to geld him?

Just not something you see every day.

The form says he's three turning four. Probably just got hurt in training and now coming back. Only 2 recognized works.

yes, foaled on 4/23/10

Yeah, I looked at the #2 horse to get the actual calculated age of 4.76 years, the #3 horse is 3.67 years. That makes more sense. My bad!

Also, upon checking the raw data from the data file, the age code for the race is a "D" which means the race is for 5 yos only, but in the conditions it says it's for 3,4, and 5 yos. Bad data.

The horse is so fast, they couldn't catch him in the pasture until he was 3-1/2~!
