Quite a difference!
Energy distribution is, for young horses, is A LEARNED aspect. With babies one cannot use same standards for adults.

Follow the career of ANY horse, sans at the top of the heap, and they always get a bit later as they mature. In one of the first Sartin manuals I ever read, they followed the %median of Secretariat from his first to later races and made it clear that it was a common fact that thye learn to distribute energy better as they LEARN how to run.
