Anybody in this country could not have duplicated what he did with another horse I bet ya.

How can you call it the right move? He missed months of races here where he would have been a strong contender.

The horse ran well, but it's not like running 5th is some great accomplishment. Leo O'brien took a NY Bred to Ireland and won the Irish 2000 Guineas, so there is someone in this country that has duplicated and surpassed what he did.

Sharp Post...besides Hoss, if I recall, isn't the point of racing to enter your horse into spots that the horse is able to win races in? Call me crazy but I always thought that was a goal in racing.

As Rollo pointed out, I'm sure the trip to Ascot was great for all involved. And honestly, I was shocked at how good he came back. But, makes you think what he could have done here. It's not like the 3 year old division was solid this year. He's certainly a nice horse.
