Red Rocks could have galloped around that track again probably. He is a very stout stayer in my opinion. Although he did manage to win over 10 furlongs earlier this year (that's just off the top of my head).

We shall have to wait and see what sort of horses we send over there. It might be a case where we send over a very weak bunch, but i doubt it considering the pennies the good horses are racing for over here.

As i said, most of our good 12 furlong horses this year have shown more than enough speed when winning over 10 furlongs to suggest a sharp track won't be an issue for them.

I could have galloped around that track again with the same trip Red Rocks got..

You would come up short in my opinion.
Then make as many excuses as Godolphin have with Discreet Kitten

He's obviously one of the better ones we've got to send to the BC, but it's pretty obvious that he'll need a less-than-stellar showing by the Euros to take home the top prize.

I suppose those rooting for him can hope for huge misfires from every Euro contender, a la last year's BC Mile.

Araafa was slightly disappointing, granted...... but in all honesty, the others weren't that good.

Most people over here thought Aragorn was a certainty last year.
