Please show me. I have never heard of yearling races, anywhere, ever. It's common practice for most TB racehorses to be broken out as late yearlings, though.

Here the TB yesrlings generally get broken and run ... not in the racing part myself but I can see how young they get run 'officially'.

Unofficially horses as young as 1 1/2 will be expected to run.
