Brock, not sure if you managed to pick up a copy of the Post today, but I think Matt Williams summed Paco Boy up well. Basically he said that he is a brilliant horse at seven furlongs and is quite capable of winning over a mile here, but not in Gr1 company against solid milers.
When he comes up against genuine good milers, I think he will always struggle.
He suggested that he shouldn't run over a mile again until the Breeders' Cup. Which could be a fair shout.
I just think the conbination of a mile on rain softened ground just blunted his speed and turn of foot, which often wins him his races.
