I'm sure the track was fast for Easy Goer and expect it was also the day Congaree went 133 flat. I don't think DC has done enough to be called a great horse, much less a very good one and wouldn't even if he'd gone faster.

But what he has done, that's kind of getting lost, is that he has made the round-trip from US-->> Dubai-->> US very successfully. It will be very impressive if he can do it again.

What's also lost here is the great job Surroor did with him. I don't think this is the soundest horse ever seen, yet every time he shows up for a race, he looks fantastic.
I agree 100% sent to. fast track or not, what we saw was very special i think. they've done a great job with him. every time they have put him on the track he has been untouchable. he may not be great yet but it's within his grasp with a few more races.
