That's a reasonable question.

Could it be because they consider European races more demanding, thus 6F is more like 7F in theory? Or, maybe they are avoiding Goldikova?

Your answers would not make sense to me, in their shoes.

If indeed it is a once in a lifetime opportunity, why be total pussies about it? I mean why go through all the hassle, give up a lot of earnings potential here, and then duck the better race, in which their horse is a much better fit (Goldikova notwithstanding)?

Didn't BC Mile winners Last Tycoon and Royal Academy mostly race in 5f and 6f races in Europe?

That was a long time ago, but you do have an interesting point.
