3yo's and the New Zealand Cup

Just thinking

With the changes in horse's birthdays will we ever see a modern day 3yo contest a NZ Cup?

Before thinking that Mike's gone mad just remember that with the new birthdays that Il Vicolo, Mainland Banner and Lazarus would have been called 3yo's when they won their Cups

Lazarus in particular wasn't actually even 4yo in real terms the day he won his 1st Cup (he was foaled on 12/11 and his 1st Cup win would have been a few days before the 12th)

Unlikely I know

Not think mad or unlikely, would say its likely to happen. Just a matter of time. Remember Copy That was still a 3y-o, (new calendar) when he started favourite in last years Cup.
