I didn't mean at that sort of age. I was referring to the American bred horses who are sold as yearlings to race in Europe and then go back to America to run a big race (say at the Breeders' Cup). To me (and most people) they are referred to as the European challengers, despite which country they were born.

If a horse has run previously in America and then is sold to race in a different country, that changes things.

It's a difficult argument.
