The way the stakes schedule has always been, there is never a shortage of races for 3yo's, and it's never been a common occurence. The BC and all other stakes has always been restricted by age. Sure, a top 3yo might drop into an Open or Invitational at some "B" track for a prep or something, but 3yo's normally never race against aged horses.
When it was at Pompano, the Matron used to be a race that a lot of horses pointed for. It was restricted to age, sex and gait.
