In fairness to the horse, its his trainer who has stated that he isnt as good on soft ground. You could make an argument that he is suited by soft ground with his last run in Ireland being on softish ground where he put up a career best performance.. His form on soft ground as a juvenile wasnt too shabby either. Plus on breeding, he is bred to love the mud..
I think we all would love to see him run in the Arc, don't you feel this race is a must if he is to be included with the greats as in Nijinsky II? There are questions is he as effective at 1 1/2 as he is at 1 1/4. In addition Urban Sea's progeny have yet to transfer their turf form over to the dirt track now poly if The Classic is a consideration, I actually like the horses quite alot, just stirring up some conversation as his record is being somewhat unchallenged here, and there are few questions remaining to be answered to me atleast. But praise this high coming from you brock, he must be something special. While recognizing he's a very good horse, I want to see if he can clear a few more hurdles before I mention him in DM's class.
