I find it highly unlikely he'll lose to Goldikova.
I read too fast. Why six furlongs? That's obviously dumb.

It's dumb all around, especially with the easy money to be made here this year.

But 6f is beyond dumb.

Listen, it might be dumb, but are you considering that the owners might think it is once in a lifetime so why not take a shot? It isn't like the horse isn't paying his own way.

Foreign horses come here to run..why can't they go there and give it a shot?

I could think of few places I'd rather go to less than being around a bunch of stuffed shirt high hat British snobs.

The Brits absolutely loved Wes Ward when he was over, so they will be well treated..

the Ascot 6f straight course rides like a 7f race and our sprinters are never brilliant, so why not give it a go? They'll at least get a few nice pictures of them dressed in top hats and tails.

I'd rather race in Turkey and while over there, go visit Gobekli Tepe.
