Why are you all talking about English channel, he had a perfect trip no excuses at all. Still a nice horse and capable of some amazing preformances. Cacique did have a horrible ride from Pval in the churchill race and has found a rider in prado to help him. But the horse you should all be focusing on is clement's lawnmower Relazed Gesture. NOBODY ELSE SAW THAT KENT THE GREAT LOST HIS STICK A FEW STRIDES AFTER THE 1/8TH POLE???? This horse has been plagued with idiot rides before and can get it done. If you look at his campaign last year, lost the Bowling green from a pitiful brice blanc ride. Than the sword dancer santos was dumb enough to let chavez steal it. He won the canadian international for fun against some tough horses. Dubai was a horrid showing but he has prooved he is going to rebound and have a good campaign if guys can ride him to their actual abilities. IMO he needs a more agressive jockey and he can be in the top 3 of turf horses this year.
