[King Glorious]

They have been very sucessful when they do venture elsewhere and regualrly win the majority of the International races in December. Your argument is basically just "I dont never see them run so they must not be any good". Many of the Euros that come here and kick our butt on the turf go there and get their butt kicked. Doesnt that count? Or should American horses not get credit for winning BC races because they are held here?

If the question is what would make them legit to me, then yes, I want to see more on the international stage and not only on races in Hong Kong against horses that come to face them. You say they have been "very successful" when they do venture out and I just don't see that as the case. I see only a handful of wins and the majority of those came in Japan. I don't think it's true that they win the majority of the international races in December either. Give me facts and not opinions.
