God, I was disappointed in Paco today, he never travelled at all and when he got room, he didnt really show what he is capable of. Some people are suggesting he just doesnt get a mile, but I dont think he would have won today if the race was 7f or any other distance.
If he can get back to his best, it would be tremendous to see him drop down to 6f for something like the Golden Jubilee against the best sprinters around..

Brock, not sure if you managed to pick up a copy of the Post today, but I think Matt Williams summed Paco Boy up well. Basically he said that he is a brilliant horse at seven furlongs and is quite capable of winning over a mile here, but not in Gr1 company against solid milers.
When he comes up against genuine good milers, I think he will always struggle. He suggested that he shouldn't run over a mile again until the Breeders' Cup. Which could be a fair shout. I just think the conbination of a mile on rain softened ground just blunted his speed and turn of foot, which often wins him his races.
