I'll agree with you that depending on the odds, he may be a play against horse but forgetting about the odds and picking the horse that I think is most likely to win the race, I think he's the one that fits that bill.

Well of course he's run 9F three times. And the three Dutrow horses beat him there. His race against St Liam was phenomenal as well. But how can you bring those two up without mentioning his very poor race in the '05 Bob's Hope when he went 2 turns off a 5 win sprint streak?
I don't know why they haven't run him long either. But at such a short price, I can't just assume it is for good reasons. Also, I don't disagree with what you wrote. But he hasn't tried long in 3 years and he may well have gotten beat by Lord Snowden if either the Met was a bit longer or if Lord Snowden had gotten a bit softer trip. I can't get away from those two factors.
