This is also why there are so few legitimate Grade 1 races for older males now, why it's more worth taking a shot with a top mare against males now, why we often see lower speed figures for older male stakes horses etc.. The best ones are more lightly raced and retired long before they are fully seasoned and at at their physical peak. Then we are left with the also rans and pretenders to take over the division the following year.
