They might even consider something like the Juddmonte International for him.

OK then, can you translate that for us americans....

When we saw a horse "wasn't off" or "wasn't off a yard" it means they weren't really there to win, either they weren't fit enough to run to their ability or they were just there to get a run under it's belt. At Newmarket, he wasn't there to win, just to get a bit of experience.

OK I see. Then that would make this race even more impressive right?
Very nice you got to see him.

I LIKE THE NAME.
HE HAS A FULL SISTER, A FILLY THAT HASNT SHOW MUCH (RACE FOR THE STARS) AND A 2 YEARS OLD FULL BROTHER (BLACK RIVER FALL) THAT MAY RUN IN OCTUBER.
THIS ZULU CHIEF IN HIS FIRST RUN CAME IN JUST FALLOING THE BUNCH. MAYBE NEXT RACE WILL FINE IF HIS IS DIFERENT OF HIS SIBILS.
IM NOT TO FAN OF FUSAISHI PROGENITY.

hes a 3year old, dont know where he is headed next, but they will probably go a bit slowly with him.. Maybe a bit like they did with Mingun..
