Here in the US, most racetracks have an upper limit of 14-15 years as the age for which they will accept entry of a horse. Also, economics here pretty much assure that a horse won't race up into its teens. Strictly from a publicity standpoint, I shudder to think what would happen if a horse that was racing in its teens suffered an on-track breakdown. I think the outcry would be devastating.
