I like to have the yearlings broke in the fall regardless of when the are going to run. Sometimes you turn them out for a bit and start training them in Feb or march. Sometimes you can send them right into training late in their yearling year and keep them going until they race or until you think they need a short break. Horses that are going to race in the fall still need a good bottom that being turned out in a field for a long time cant produce.
