That's more than a full season's worth. So he might be 28 but have over 11 years worth of wear and tear on his body. Another guy that comes out after four years of college and is not playing deep into the playoffs each year might be 28 and only have six years worth of wear and tear. Smarty Jones had bad ankles at three. Sightseek had bad ones at five. Age is not the relevant factor here. He could be better physically at nine than other horses are at two or three.
