Come on. The recent history of both the Swaps and Goodwood reads like a laundry list of subsequent Big Cap, Dubai World Cup, and BC Classic winners.

Swaps is an Alw race in reality, nw2x usually.....the Goodwood has its ups and downs, I remember the field Tiago beat that day, it was so bad I think he was about 8/5 in the field as a three year old who was an also ran in the triple crown races.

Tiago beat subsequent BC Dirt Mile and Donn winner Albertus Maximus in his Swaps. I think the most accomplished horses he ended up beating in the Santa Anita Derby that year were the decent turf horse Medici Code and sprinter Black Seventeen.

The Swaps has always been a very productive race. Even last year, while Tres Borrachos didn't train on, Two Step Salsa and Colonel John have remained in the spotlight. The most modest runnings perhaps were Arson Squad's victory (and even he's been threatening to reach top class status) and During's a few years ago.

I think Shirreffs is afraid of the surface, has he started a horse on the main track yet? Where are all his two year olds?
