Great talk with Dr Allday regarding May foals.
Another reason for their success might be being born in Jan/Feb in KY the weather is not warm yet. No way to go outside with mare and probably kept indoors during cold winter and physical development could get stagnant where as the April/May foals get to bounce right out of mare and go outside and develop quicker and healthier eating that bluegrass and exercising more right out of the "gate"! Early exercise might produce healthier bones and muscle development...remember what Dustin Hoffman looked like in Pappion after being in jail for months/years with no exercise!
