Nice to see Cape Blanco winning it for the 3yos. He made it a test of stamina by taking the lead and running them into the ground; he also exposed the limitations of Rip van Winkle, who has perhaps more reputation than he deserves. So now Cape Blanco has a 2 to nil lead over Workforce (win in the Dante, second in the KGQE) and wins in the Irish Derby and Irish Champion. Is he not the best 3yo in Britain and Ireland? Didn't like going right-handed in heavy ground in France, for which I forgive him.
