I mean look at where Champs Elysees finished...7th was he? Isn't he a lot better than that?
No he's not. Why did all of those horses stay so far back when the pace was that slow? It wasn't impossible for them to close at all. They should have been up closer so they wouldn't have had to close from so far back.

Tiago, or Doggio as I like to call him, was not really that far behind Magnum.

Magnum however, wasn't exactly up close and on Well Armeds ass either.

Doggio, also, isn't really a true closer when the pace is slow. Quite a few times he's laid up pretty close to a slow lead.

Chumps flat out sucks on the Pro-Ride. Either that or he isn't the same horse he was a year ago when he ran in the Big Crap. Not that he was much back then either.

well armed is heading to dubai, but the first and third horses are going to the big 'cap.
ought to be a large field this year.

Beat me to it ...

And didn't the vaunted Pyro always suck up for something that led people to believe he had much more ?

Never liked him either .

I doubt Zenyatta would do more than lift her tail over Tiago's efforts ...
