Good stats. How did the turf horses 4 & up do as a group may I ask?

There have been zero races on the turf so far this year carded for 4 years olds and up

BUT

There have been 11 for 3 year olds and up on the Aqu turf where there
were both 3 year olds and older horses

8 were won by 3 years olds 73%

In these races there were a total of 135 runners.
3 years olds had 81 runners for 60% of the population.
of the 11 3 year old winners, 8 were post time favorites

of the three older winners, 1 was a fav and the other 2 were
the second bet choice

A distinct advantage for 3 year olds so far.
