I never said she was going to hit the board.I just said IMO she has a better chance to win the mile than the other race.
I am very curious to see how this weekend's race at Ascot plays out. Obviously George Washington was tremendous in the English Guinees ( however the hell you spell it ) but his subsequent injury and performances ( albeit he hasn't had the best of trips ) have left something to be desired. If he runs a big one this weekend I too think he will be very tough in the BC Mile but we'll have to wait and see. I am unfamiliar with Librettist and will have to go to Racing Post and find out more about him. However, it is not considered a strong year for Euro milers at this point. Aragorn does seem very talented and at this point I can't say Gorella is a better horse. However, I don't think this year's race has to be as tough as you are indicating and a healthy Artie Schiller is a better horse than you give him credit for. He hasn't been right all year and I would hope you are not basing your opinion on him from his 2006 form. Plus, he got a perfect trip in the BC Mile last year.
Regardless, I doubt she will be effective at 1 3/8 and I don't see how she can be expected to beat Ouiji Board there anyway. That one has been successfully knocking heads this year against some of the best horses in the world. Her form was suspect last year having just come back from an injury and one effort against absolute nobodies.
