Twice Over really showed a love for synthetics by struggling to corner in the BC Classic and doing nothing in the Dubai World Cup which was won by that really old Brazilian horse ... with Gio Ponti off the board.

But yeah, without a doubt, Twice Over is the best horse Zenyatta has ever beaten.

Nice. He held off a 33/1 shot in a short field who was routed in a Group 3 last out.

The real question I believe is, but can he really beat Dance to My Tune.

He's obviously a good horse. I just think he's a little better on turf than rubber. Same goes for Gio Ponti ... although there are probably 15 better turf horses than Gio Ponti in Europe and about 6 better ones in Japan and probably 3 or 4 better ones in South Africa.

It looks like RHT is rounding back into form from back when he was PG1985.

We should all enjoy the looniness while we still can.
