Assuming you are speaking of the Kentucky Derby: This Grade I Stakes race is for 3-year-old Thoroughbreds of either sex. A Thoroughbred technically turns its next age on January 1 of any given year. Because horses generally are born between January and June, a horse entering the Kentucky Derby, which is held in May, usually will be 3-years-old both technically (because of the January 1 date) and actually (because most are born before the early May date of the Derby) -- but there may be as much as a 4- or 5-month difference in the actual ages of the horses in the Derby.
A male horse under four years old is a Colt. A male horse over four years old is a Stallion. A male horse that is castrated is a Gelding no matter how old it is. A female horse under four years old is a Filly. A female horse over four years is a Mare.
