May be a daft question.

But asking anyway.

Will a foal born at the beginning of a sim year have any advanatage over one born towards the end maturity wise.

I think maturity is coded into the horse during different fixed periods of game-time (year turnover, week 9 et cetera) so that all horses turning 2-year-old are considered being the same age even if some of them may be almost a sim-year older than that. That way coded (inherited) maturity (peak/progression/late) plays a larger role than when in the year the foal is actually born.

Interesting thought though. I haven't looked into whether my foals born early in the year to a larger extent would be peaking earlier than foals born late in the year.

I asked i used to follow 2yr old sprinters in England and it was important to spot the early foals as against the late ones.

After getting married the particular pleasure was cut off :D

Maybe introduce your spouse to the game and watch her/him/them win the Derby before you do? ;) :)
