Peak performance is around ~4.5 years old A major study using Beyer Speed Figures found that Thoroughbreds reach their peak racing age at about 4.45 years, with performance improving up to that point and gradually declining afterwards. [pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] My 10 years of performance data for NZ concurs alongside my personal observation. Might be different in Oz. -
Same thing for all intents and purposes. Have a look at the nominations for the Queen of the Turf Stakes, the cream of Aus female racing. She is just not even close to that class -

But you have praised her performances on race outcomes not performance per se. -

I sort of gave my opinon on that600 in another Topic. She had a very hard and long 3yr old season. More money and Grp1 opportunities at 1600m to 2200m i.e. middle distance than further. Only so many km's you can race them in a prep. -
Just trying to objectively appraise her based on performances to date and she is clearly not up to G1 class based on her runs over there to date. Negativity or positivity do not come into it Leica Lucy made ground very well late to finish close up to Pericles. I can't figure out why, a horse that was classed the best 3 year old staying filly of her year, other than her first run over there, has never been otherwise tried past 1600m in Aus. Willydoit the Derby winner in the same season, also never tried past 1600m in Aus
