10 G1 winners (Archipenko, Creachadoir, Hyperbaric, Jay Peg x4, Kip Devile x4, Lady Marian, Niconero x5, Paco Boy, Tuesday Joy x4, Vodka x4)

Throw in the potential monsters Prevsis, Gladitorius and the multiple G1 placed Balius and you have a field that will be tough to match this year!

Awww, don't leave out Russian Sage. He just hasn't won a G1.

YET.

Happy Boy is starting to find his form after Godolphin butchered him.

Assuming he's actually entering - I'll take him in an upset in the World Cup.

Wasn't he a late scratch last year?

Good luck to you. Respectfully, I'm not seeing it.

3 races this season... 11th, 2nd, 2nd.

I think My Indy, Muller, Asiatic Boy, possibly Muhannak (Ryan Moore got the mount) and Well Armed have more of a shot but I'm wrong most of the time, so...

(These aren't picks... just who I'm finding interesting).

Vodka was Japan's HOY last year, she's quite legit. Archipenko has run huge in Dubai, Hong Kong and the US where he was a decent 2nd in the Arlington Million.
Niconero won 2 G1's inside 7 days in OZ in jan and Feb. One at under a mile the other at abt 10f. He's won 4 G1's.
Lady Marian won the Prix Vermeille (?) on the Arc undercard, but 9f might be short for her.
Jay Peg has G1's in Dubai and Asia for deKock.
Tuesday Joy is a 5x G1 winner in Sydney.
Creachadoir has run well in Europe and Asia in G1 racing.

Hyperbaric and Presvis may be a bit lower class but their best is very good. Presvis has won 2 at the Carnival and seems to like the course.


The top 7-8 in this field are very good and very legit "world class" horses.

I thought Vodka had a tough trip in her last... never had anywhere to run.
Of course Im not as smart as some others on this board. I need the PP's before I decide who I will bet.


Love the avatar, Brockguy. DRAMA!

Aren't a bunch of these Group 1 horses South African which means they may not exactly be world class?

yeah id agree with that - however, only Jay Peg that i mentioned won G1s in South Africa but he won the Duty Free last year (albeit at 50-1) and proved it was no fluke by winning in Singapore.

Don't forget, Archi won in HK...

As far as being world class? I think Vodka has proved herself and some would argue the same for Tuesday Joy.

Thanks, Brock... wasn't sure if he had in SA or not!

I just saw odds where he's 16/1... guess we'll know after the barrier draw tomorrow!

Thanks for the news, Brock. Sucks but thank you.
