Him getting beaten 15 lengths with a perfect trip in last years World Cup was a little disconcerting to me.

I did think he had a shot at beating Great Hunter home...that didn't happen though.

If Happy Boy was remotely sound and healthy he would have oblieterated horses like Asiatic Boy, Well Armed, and Great Hunter.

Asiatic I believe is going to the States after what happened to him last year... He might have to change trainers for that, Im not too sure. He'll be a very solid 8-9f horse on dirt. I dont think he quite sees the last one home..

Happy Boy looked brilliant in the 1st round, and it could be good that he didnt run today as he was way behind schedule and none of Godolphin's horses ran particularly well. It could have been a disaster for him.
