Dylan Thomas ran more this year and until today it was 4 G1 wins to 2. English Channel's loss to Better Talk Now was a fraz slower than DT's 10 furlong race. I don't believe EC beat the Epsom Derby winner either. They're both top horses but as the jock said, he was in a disasterous situation on the backstrech, it was hopeless on this surface. EC is still a top horse and certainly the top American turf horse right now. Apples and oranges still considering the track condition so I'll just say don't beat down on DT too much. Just give EC credit for his effort and let's move on.
