He may have a fair shot on that 6f race. If they can train him to break fast and going hard on the cutback, he might be competitive in that race. Their sprinters have always suffered because they break pretty much the same as their middle distance runners, a hole Wesley Ward exploited to great success.

I say why not. To many times people are complaining because owners don't try something daring.

BTW, last I heard Goldikova was going to start a little later this year than last, so she probably won't run at Ascot anyway, but I would guess that a US miler would get dusted in the St James, even by middle level talent over there. The sprint though I think may be do-able.

The St James Palace is for 3YOs. I think the mile race is the Queen Anne.

You're right. I was going from memory and got the wrong one.
