Sorry it took me a few days to respond as I was away on business travel. Yes, you are correct. Horses are given an official birth date of January regardless of when they were actually born. You can still see what month they were actually born in by looking in the past performances of the Daily Racing Form or the track programs. That way you can pick out horses that may be a bit more developed than others. This is especially true early on in their developmental cycles. Excellent question by the way.

I hear they are only counted in years. So, a horse born in January, 2007, and another horse born in December, 2007, would both be considered 1 year old today. Is this correct? Thank you for your site. It’s very informative.
