The BC Classic is littered with 3YO winners. In the 34 years the BC Classic has been run, here are your winners by age:
3YOs: 12
4YOs: 14
5YOs: 8
Nobody over 5YOs has ever won the race. I have always felt that 4YOs are at their premium racing age, and do handicap towards that belief.

These are highly biased numbers: no great 4, or 5 year olds are racing at that age, they're all retired.
