Often times, lightly regarded form from Europe translates into grade one quality over here...not having anything to do with quality, simply the difference in the courses! I remember when the great Dancing Brave came over to romp in the BCT...certainly no American horse could run with him! He met a horse named Manila that day...and I suspect Manila could run with any turf horse in the world! To be fair, Dancing Brave had just won the Arc and that's one tough double but translating form is a tricky thing! The US has the greatest turf horse ever and lots of great ones...
