Best Group 2 in the world?

[brockguy]

The best Group 2 in the world was on again on Sunday with Midas Touch providing Aidan O'Brien with yet another winner. I do think he will be battling Fracas as the worst winner of this race over the past decade.

A review of the winners since 2000:

2000 Sinndar - top class 2 Derbys and an Arc

2001 Galileo - top class 2 Derbys and a King George

2002 High Chaparral - top class 2 Derbys, 2 Breeders Cups, an Irish Champion Stakes

2003 - Alamshar - top class Irish Derby, King George

2004 - Yeats - top class Cornation Cup, Ascot Gold Cup

2005 - Fracas - eh, not quite the same level as above

2006 - Dylan Thomas - top class Irish Derby, Irish Champion Stakes x 2, Prix Ganay, King George, Arc

2007 - Archipenko - top class, Audemars Piguet QE II Cup winner, 2nd Arlington Million, 3rd Dubai Duty Free

2008 - Casual Conquest - just shy of top class 3rd Epsom Derby, 2nd Irish Derby won a soft G1 - Tattersalls Gold Cup - in training again this year

2009 - Fame and Glory - top class, albeit a bit 'slow' - Irish Derby winner, 2nd Derby, Irish Champion Stakes - stays in training this year

2010 - Midas Touch - ???
