Colt (horseracing)

In thoroughbred horse-racing, a colt is defined as a male horse less than five years old; in harness racing a colt is a male horse less than four years old. An older male horse is known simply as a horse, or in harness racing as an aged horse. The female equivalent to a colt is a filly.
