I would be happy to see him stay in the States this year. Obviously Darley is looking to increase his value as a stallion, and still racing at 7 years of age and being competative in graded stakes here is a plus.
Do you find his accomplishments to be unworthy of attention in the racing community? Just curious...
I will be interested to see how he can compete against what will hopefull be a good Met field, and hopefully see him further down the road this year.

First of all, aside from my post being for a laugh, would you describe the general reaction differently? Were there any threads or discussions of this horse here or really anywhere?
He was a mediocre talent from the Far East, that Godolphin purchased and promptly laid up for 14 months. He set a dawdling pace and hung on while racing on a strong rail.
I predict if he runs in the Met Mile he will be much closer to last than first.
And, finally, I stand by my original opinion......the general reaction to his win was in fact ennui.
