your voucher for the bc classic could well be a wise move

in my opinion and from what i have read woodman is an inconsistent sire some times getting good crops and sometimes getting poor crops (could be as stevem says it may be to do with the mares he ius sent to) he is by mr prospector whose offspring also have a reputation for not training on ( a feature he seems to have pased on) however looking at some of the offspring of woodman who have trained on i dont think one could say of the better ones they lacked bottle . wouldyou say boshra sham lacked bottle and some of his better american horses were not bottlers either
regarding staying and stamina i would agree with stevem and others he didnt stay his class took him where he got. but stamina is relevant poorer horse who can stay still have to keep up with him and get close enough to take advantage. very few horses can get away with this but look at nijinsky in the leger over a tript to far and ground conditions not to suit he beat a much better stayer in meadowville
regarding the distances and act one is not a direct comparision as the races were run differently to some extent the race on saturday was run to suit hawk wing and can account for a few lenghts (according to the fore mentioned j willoughby) although i think your comment about the quality of horses behind may also have some validity as well.
be wary of t morris together with mr mordin he is another who shares the thommo theory that sadlers wells offspring dont stay despite numerous oaks coronation cup winners and now 2 derby winners ( not mentioning he also has an ascot gold cup winner to his credit)
