Best Horse of 2006

Well, considering Araafa's brilliant showing in the BC Mile I would think the QE II's rating should be dramatically reconsidered.

It's funny, as much as we tend to overrate the Euros, the people from Europe are even more extreme.

Come now, Araafa was at least a stone below his best in the Breeders' Cup. That much is self evident...take a line through Sleeping Indian.
Killybegs has subsequently shown the QEII form to be solid.

Harry,
man I hope that goes for every Euro in that race.

they did a great "no show".
I really think Europe had some nice milers this year, but I knew I was in trouble when Ferguson (or someone from the godolphin camp) was already explaining to the interviewer why Librettist was going to lose 10 minutes BEFORE the race.
not a good sign.
