as much as I am a fan of Crossing The Line, I would have to rate him behind Shakespeare at the moment. Shakespeare just seems to be freakishly good, like a turf version of Ghostzapper almost.
Maybe we haven't seen the best yet of Crossing The Line, which is why I said at the moment. He's done everything asked of him so far, so who knows.
But winning a top class turf mile is not an easy thing to do especially with such a deep field like in the WO mile. There were some good horses in that race who fired their best shots, Kip Deville and Remarkable News for example, and Shakespeare simply walked by them.
it would be nice if they were ever able to hook up against each other.
