Let’s look at what some of the research says.Īustralian research from 2013 compared the career lengths of 117,000 horses and showed horses that started racing at the age of two had longer careers than those that started racing later in life.Īnother longitudinal Australian study found yearlings outperformed older racehorses. So are two-year-olds really at greater risk of injury?
