ok,
thats interesting and at least a debatable subject(not like the distance of the Dubai Duty Free).

see,
I and most ppl(including Frankel) thought Cacique was a miler/10f horse.
if you had asked me in June where Cacque would run in November, I would have said the BC Mile.
but he ran well at 11 in the MOW and I think(from watching the post race interview) that it even surprised Frankel how well he appreciated the distance.

maybe he is going to like 12 more than most of us thought.
i would not be surprised and I expect that he wlll run well.
in the end though, I think he can run the race of his life and still lose to the Euros(the real ones).

yeah,
but the bottom line is that Coolmore wants to win this race.
whether its HRun or DThomas, or whoever, they will have at least 1 strong contender.
Shirocco could go in the BCC, but I bet they come to their senses and try to defend their BCT title.

there will be others also coming over.
there almost always are, unless of the course the Breeders Cup does something stupid like host the event at a track like Lone Star Park.
