Believe me, I would admire them for going, and think it would be neat....but he would get positively drowned. You really need to be at the Arc and see them hosing down the course to appreciate how different the racing is over there.
I think there are some interesting questions that may arise if he doesnt run again in the US. Namely can a horse who only runs one time in the US be named Horse of the year if that race is not a BC race? If he were to run in the Arlington million or another US turf race and win would he get support for turf champion off of one race? If BB were to come back and win the Travers would he get enough support for HOY?
