I dont buy that argument at all. They said he was fine and going really well at home. Two days after his race in France they said he'd come out of it really well. He looked one of the best in the paddock today actually. To say he's had too many races is scraping the barrell for excuses.

New Approach had four races before today, only one less than Rio.

That is no excuse at all. If they didn't think he was going to run up to scratch they wouldn't have run him. The first three were simply too good for him today. He is still a nice prospect, you're right, but i'd be confident to say that he will find it very, very difficult to beat the three in front of him today.

The second ran a huge race, but never looked likely of heading New Approach.

New Approach wasn't the best away, he didn't like being ampongst horses but he really put his head down and showed the world what he's made off.
