I try to throw you a Vale of York bone and this is what I get?

Well, yes, Conduit could also run a little. It's true.

What about when they ran 1-2-3-4 in the 2005 BCT? Or when B-teamers like Red Rocks win two of our most important turf races? Seems like Dylan Thomas is the exception rather than the rule.

The only area where I'd agree with you is the BC Juvy Turf races since they were created. Those Euros almost always get overbet and lose to some mediocre American horse.

The ground was a complete bog that day - not that Dylan Thomas wasn't overrated - but he obviously didn't handle it - getting beat like two football fields and finishing behind a few slugs.

Or C-teamers like Dangerous Midge, who came back and was beaten a country mile.
