Correct Ken. Another point regarding the Southern Hemisphere beginning their classifications later in the year. The best time for horses to be foaled is in the spring. Winter in the South is of course 6 months or so later in the year than ours .......hence they "age" horses from a different perspective than we do to suit there own racing calendar. It is another reason why Southern Hemisphere horse rarely, if ever, run in our group races that have age, particularly 2 & 3 year old, restrictions.
