That's not the issue. The issue is you saying he's nine so therefore he HAS to have physical limitations that would preclude him from racing. All I say is maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. But him being nine doesn't make it automatic. All 9yos aren't the same. How many 7yos before Precisionist had come back and done it? He did it. Every circumstance and every horse is different. His age is not the determining factor here, it's his health. He might be more physically able to run as a 9yo than a 3yo like Quality Road.
