Incoming assertion alert!
I think you have a pretty big selection bias problem when you say "5 year olds don't win the Classic!" (Reminds me of a recent thread where the idea of coming up with rules vs. pre-requisites vs. guiding principles was discussed.)
Because most really good horses get retired after 3 or 4, you probably won't see a lot of 5 year old Classic winners, but, IMO, that just means that you don't often see a 5 year old good enough to win who is still in training, not that there's some curse on 5 year olds.
