Sea the Stars

[Hwjb]

I understand the view, and missing the King George makes sense more than anything, a lesser race than it once was, but to swerve the Arc would be a great shame. They would spout the line that a soft-ground 12f wouldn't suit, whereas only 3 of the last 10 Arcs have come up on ground softer than good, and none in the last 5. In addition, Sea The Stars has proven himself over a stiff 12f already, admittedly not a well-run one, but his stamina for such a test can't, as yet, be questioned. He's already one of the best horses of recent times, still hasn't peaked, and an Arc win - the most important of races - would cap things off.
