Not being funny, but was he, though?
His UAE Derby win wasn't exactly brilliant. Okay, he beat Invasor, who was unfit and half the horse he turned out to be, hence why he was allowed to go off at 16/1. What else did he beat?
He only managed to win two graded races after then (only one at Grade one level) when he was 1-20 and 1-4 favourite.
I will admit, he looked very good when winning the Cigar Mile.
But does his form give him the right to be called "brilliant"? Not in my opinion.
