I think he's up there with the best I've ever seen. Not quite up to Lammtarra but close. The thing that impresses me the most is not the races he's won but the level of competition he's beaten and he's done it at their distances. That's the same thing that impressed me most about Zarkava last year, beating Goldikova while running short. I'd hate to see him in the BC though. I just think it's too much to ask a horse to win the Arc then win the Turf and if it's the Classic they want, I don't see that the risk is worh it on junktrack. I'd hate to see his reputation damaged by a loss here the same way Dancing Brave's was.
