In other words, would it be safe to say that 3 year olds have accumulated enough experience where we as handicappers can look at the horses PP's and see how the horses form have taken shape, i.e., how the horse has run enough in varying classes, distances, surface preference, etc., all of which reveals its' strong points/weak points.
Would it be 3 years old? Or 4 years old or other?

I believe there was some sort of research on this where the findings were the average horse is best at around 4.5 years old
