43. It can be 2 or 3 depending upon when the foal was born.

Edited on Sun May-04-08 03:40 PM by Pharlo

For racing Thoroughbreds, Jan 1 of the year after their birth they are considered a year old. That is why you want your foal born as close to - but after - Jan 1 as possible. If a mare foaled on Dec. 31 2007, for racing purposes, that foal would be a yearling on Jan 1, 2008. That is where the confusion is coming in on the age of the horses here.

While they are, technically 3, some of them are actually 2. Most fall in the 2 1/2 to 3 year range.
