What a monster. 8th out of 11, third out of 11, 7th out of 11, 8th out of 10. Showing Up and Go Between better watch out.

I don't think they are saying he is a monster but when O'Brien sends one over they are ready for a big effort. That's all.

is his planned race 10furlongs.. he barely looks to stay a mile.. decent horse but I would be very surprised if he beat SHowing Up who looked very good on turf!

I think that is the main point. He is a miler at best. No way he runs 10F with two very good horses that already have proven 10F is nothing to them.

Ivan Denisovich is a G3 type horse in Europe.

O'Brien more than often runs horses like Ivan in G1s and hopes for the best.

Probably not good enough to win at Arlington though. The fact that the horse has been supplemented means nothing as the Coolmore people have supported the Arlington Million day in recent years.

Many of their horses at this time of year are on the sales list.
