Had he finished the job in the Turf Cup instead of getting beat by a 100-1 shot and also won the BCC, then you would have a legitimate argument. Otherwise... no.

It was an enormous dud. EG didn't show up until May and was done by the 4th of July. SS ran twice in June and was done. They never met in 1990.

If the same happened here it would not surprise me.

I hope you're wrong but it is a real possibility.
Didn't Criminal Type win the 1990 HOY?

Yes he did. I can't find it now but there used to be a video of a lot of his races that year. (when the Pimlico Special was a good race!)
