Cape Cross throws a lot of speed into the pedigree, and judging from his Guineas win, he does have a lot of pace. Connections even said that his class probably won him the Derby, not his staying credentials.
He will also be a much better stallion if he sticks to ten furlongs. These twelve furlong horses are now deemed too slow in this modern day.

My viewpoint is I would just love to see the best horses run in the best races, I think too much emphasis is made on surfaces, type of ground, protecting one's record these days that the 'sport' of it all has somehow become lost.
