There's nothing inherently disadvantageous about running in Dec or Jan unless it's the rare horse whose schedule was so tough it's starting to wear down just as the other Triple Crown horses are starting to peak. However, as a general rule, the very best prospects are put away for a few months to freshen up after the best 2yo races in fall and scheduled so they ARE peaking in May. There are always exceptions, but typically there's not as much happening among the best prospects in Dec and Jan anyway.
