We have seen that he's a proper horse, he didn't need to prove anything to us.
I know you thought i was mad saying he wouldn't run, but that was the opinion of many fans over here and we are all gutted.
As soon as the rain came most people said he wouldn't have a chance of winning.
Losing this race will be in the fore of everyone's mind. It has eclipsed his Arc win for me.

how would it have been better if he was withdrawn or didn't even come over?
aren't we just talking about pride here? sure he was up against it, but he gave it a shot. i don't see how it diminishes him. there is no precedent for being able to pull off that double.
