You don't really want to argue the merits of Easy Goer with me. I don't really wish to get into a savaging of Day and incriminations of Whittingham in public. Hopefully it will suffice to say that there are enough people out there whose opinions you respect that know the score on this topic that ensure the scale always comes out on Easy Goer's side.
And I'm not overplaying a trainer's preparedness to hone a horse THAT HE RIDES when it comes to having one right for a specific race or set of races.. You're out of your element on this particular topic.
