The best part was the pre-race interview asking why McPeek was in the UK.

"We wanted to get some more Grade 1-type with him..."

Unfortunately, the interviewer failed on her follow-up, the obvious 1-2 punch which should have been:

1) Is that because you couldn't get any Grade 3-type with him in the past 6 months?

2) So you thought running in what could conceivably be the most competitive middle distance race of the season for older horses in the WORLD would be a good spot?

Sad thing is he may have impacted the race, as Ryan Moore for some reason opted to out-foot Classic Causeway early on race favorite Luxembourg & perhaps utlimately going faster than he needed to & setting it up for the Gosden horse from the back (the only non-Group 1 winner in the field)
