I feel for the horse, he was the 2nd best horse in America and could have won a ton of races in a row, and they are going the Royal Ascot / Arlington Million route. Its beyond ridiculous.

Honestly I didnt think they could get the same money from a Ky farm that they could in Asia, and I figured they would be all about the money.
While I think he will be drowned in UK on turf. I think he would be equally up against the best horses here on dirt as we get deeper into the season. At least he is in a good setting and getting to be a horse for a few months and I really think IF he has turf ability he will be better served in UK with turf specialists then trying it from Los Al.
