That's like saying our sprinters in the Olympics aren't superior to the Polish 100 meter runners.

Different ballgame
In general, obviously, you're right. But there's nothing to say that America can't produce a grass horse who could compete with the euros. If somehow Curlin ended up being just as good on grass as he is on dirt he could probably compete. Personally, I think Barbaro could've won some big European turf races.
