So, in summary, since 1990 he has run 17 (in 13 different events), their average placing is 4th, their average odds are 15.5 - 1, their average ordinal ranking is 5th and they have outrun the ordinal ranking 11 times, even with it 3 times and finished worse than it 3 times. Also, with no runners since 2010 he has no doubt decided that he only needs to run when he has a shot.

Also 2 winners, 8 times in the exacta, 9 times in the trifecta and 11 times in the top 4 (superfecta when applicable).
