I think each one of them, at their respective bests, would have beaten English Channel at his best.

and he beat EC in the Joe Hirsch by about 1/2 head.
I think EC finishing 5th in the BC Turf as a 3yo behind 4 pretty good older Euros is nothing to be ashamed of. I believe that was the race where Shake finished close to last?? Was that were he got hurt?
