In addition Urban Sea's progeny have yet to transfer their turf form over to the dirt track now poly if The Classic is a consideration, I actually like the horses quite alot, just stirring up some conversation as his record is being somewhat unchallenged here, and there are few questions remaining to be answered to me atleast. But praise this high coming from you brock, he must be something special. While recognizing he's a very good horse, I want to see if he can clear a few more hurdles before I mention him in DM's class.
Interesting that you would say you think needs to be in the Arc but DM wasn't.

Yes you are correct there, maybe I should have phrased it differently but I would have to see a performance as the demolition of the Dubai World Cup or the Prince of Wales' Stakes (his last race) to put him beside DM. DM only had one bad race but when he was on his game all his wins were so much better than his competition, toying with the opposition doesn't really do it justice.

His vids are on youtube if anyone has forgotten just what a freak he was.
