This was a horse that was essentially conceded the Epsom Derby after his Dewhurst win at 2. Funny that his connections didn't even make the attempt.

Yeah, Henry Cecil knows a great horse when he sees one. He also knows a very limited horse when he sees one.

Didn't Cecil state earlier in the year the he had designs of the Arc/10-12f est. later in the campaign?
