I also think Dullahan would beat him on turf. So who is really the better horse? It just depends on the conditions.

at the 6F point he was basically neck and neck for the lead, thats making the pace in my book.

I never said he should have let Dullahan lay closer, I want speed horses ridden like speed horses, if anything one could argue he should have opened up even more so like the turf race was run. Why would you want to bunch a poly race and make it more a turf event then it already was.

I just read that the ownership group for Dullhan said that should lock up the 3YO championship, so maybe I am underrating him.
