He has been facing weak fields of late in my opinion, and can do nothing more than beat them fairly easily.
He won't be winning the BC turf though. Red Rocks wasn't exactly a superstar (far from it) and he made English Channel look like a claimer last year.

thats the dumb ass statement of the year...
The two horses that were running second to last and last for the majority of the race finished 1st and 2nd. The race set up perfectly for closers. Of all the horses on or near the lead last year EC was the ONLY one to finish well at all when he finished 3rd.
Much sharper turns and shorter run for home will be the Euro's undoing this year.
