Title: First Turf - TGJB
Post by: Ian Meyers on August 22, 2008, 09:10:43 AM
The Thropattern stats for first turf are listed as roughly 18/19/24/39.  Do you have any data handy on what it would be for 3YO\'s vs 4YO\'s vs 5+?  I have to believe a horses chances of running well on turf are inversely correlated to age.  If he hasn\'t tried it by age 5 it\'s probably because his trainer(s) think he wouldn\'t run well over it.

It would be nice to know the breakout though.

Thanks.
