That is not the point I am making, Mike. Gosden’s comment shows that it is 10 furlong horses that are the most desirable now. That wasn’t the case when I first started watching racing. The glamour distance was 12 furlongs.
OK, there is still the Arc and the Breeders Cup Turf. But the King George, once the midsummer highlight has been shoved down the pecking order by the Eclipse, the International and the Irish Champion Stakes. And the Derby is not the race it once was.
