He's just too good.

He proved he had plenty of speed in the Guineas, showed he stayed a mile and a half in the derby and today he showed his class and guts when fighting right up to the line.

According to Kinane he wasn't doing a tap in front, and won pretty easily. He isn't the sort of horse that will win by open lengths, he just does enough.

Kinane said that they went very fast today, but it still wasn't fast enough for this horse

The opportunities are endless for this horse. He'd be more than capable of winning over a mile again, and a mile and a half. I'd love to see him run in the BC Mile or even the Classic.

Apparently, you haven't watched American racing this year. This horse could win the Mile then come back a couple of hours later and beat our pathetic Classic horses. You could probably squeeze the Turf in there too.

Even on dirt this would be a great year for a European to come over and win the Classic. On the synthetics they should take the top five spots.

hot favourite for the King George on in 10 minutes - i was slightly disappointed last time out over 10f but was probably beaten by 2 very good horses. 12f is ideal. He just needs a strong enough pace.. Look Here should run a decent race too for the girls!
