Agree they get wise and probably more concerned with what’s going to hit them than the yearlings who don’t have that fear yetMark69 wrote: Tue Jan 21, 2025 12:47 pm I like 2 thirds of my small team to be yearlings ,I think once the cocks hit 3 year old the sprinting is knocked out of them because of what they face every week from the bops , they tend more to try and get home safe more that racing home, just my thought
I gave away 4 of my good older cocks once they were hit this year as I thought the same as you age was against them and strikes plus I was half a mind to go south so it made sense at the time
