She did, however, have a far more taxing race schedule as a 3yo. After spending nearly the first eleven months of her 3yo season not racing, she finally makes her debut on Nov. 22 of her 3yo season, then actually made a second start to close out a truly grueling 3yo campaign.
So, in effect, this is really only her third season of racing. Same as RA.
In case the obvious has eluded you, that means that by the time in RA's career that she had locked up the HOY trophy, Zenyatta, was still an unraced prospect, in her own respective career.

What do you think this is, moron, some pseudo-sport like golf or bowling where old fat guys can still compete with younger dudes on a given day?
All of these equine athletes will eventually lose a step or two if they hang around long enough … especially if they're past the age of five.
Pleasantly Perfect was another high-quality relatively lightly raced animal. Do you believe he was as fast in the latter part of his 6yo campaign as he was as a 5yo?
