How many US G-1 dirt racers could fly to England and just lose the most prestigious turf race by a nose? That is what GC accomplished in the BCC.
GC got off plane after 7 consecutive G-1 wins in Europe, on the turf of course, and ran his first dirt race in the BCC...losing by the long nose of Tiznow.
Coolmore bred GC his first years in the US to "any mare with four legs" to recoupe his syndication cost. There were not 191 "carefully selected" mares via conformation,pedigree, etc...only owners w/mares who could pay 300k per pop.
