And then there is the great
Eagle Time, who won twice at age
12, twice at
13, and two times in five starts at age
14! At low-level claiming races. Check out his history: some starts in graded stakes, some handicap wins, some allowance. Nobody was wringing their hands or gnashing their teeth about him running at an advanced age. Just because a horse is a little older and has been in tougher company doesn't mean he's a candidate for the winch and ambulance.
