Can you elaborate – he has had a pretty hard race and lost?
Why has he lost something, Stilvi?
He ran a cracker and just failed. The horse is a monster, his top speed is incredible

hi stilvi
sure, i would say:
– the time was a course record
– he lost far more by being blocked in running than he was beaten by
– he wasn’t stopping at the line and would have overhauled the winner easily in a couple more strides.
– basically he was unlucky in that race. .
its a game of opinions and i don’t think that outcome shows him to be inferior to expectations. i would be surprised if he is rated downwards as a result.
(despite the "they would say that" factor for the first two), quotes from Luca:
=================
Cumani, while disappointed with again being beaten in a feature race on the world stage, was still able to raise a smile.“He’s run a great race,” said Cumani. “I’m always happy when the horse runs well, even in defeat.
"Ryan’s gutted with the defeat but that’s his style of racing. His effort is even more meritorious from where he has come from.”
==================
and Ryan:
================
What can I say? I was blocked. There were a lot of horses coming back at me and I couldn’t get out when I needed to.
================
and Pascal Bary:
===========
“The horse was in excellent condition leading up to the race. I was confident he would run well but I wasn’t sure he could win,” said the 56-year-old conditioner.“I think the track suited him. He’s very used to similar small circuits and he loves the heat, being from Brazil.
…………..
“I knew we had the race won at the 100m. He was going too well and even when Presvis came home late, I knew it was too late for him.
=====================
best regards

Kranji looks a tight track, and Presvis has it all to do to come right around the field, as he will have to start his run well before the straight. It will need a remarkable ride for him to win this, imo.
.He’s obviously a remarkable horse, much the best in this race, and must rank with the very best in the world at the moment.
Thanks for the links,Wit.Just read that Presvis will go to the Breeders Cup next.
If he targets the same race as Mine That Bird that’ll be an immense finish!
Why is the hugely exciting, UK trained, Presvis, not beig aimed at any of the may top class 10f races over here?
Seems a shame, can anyone shed any light?
Think about which UK based 10f race Presvis could have gone for this year worth any reasonable money? The G3 that Tartan Bearer won at Sandown or perhaps the Huxley Stakes at Chester. The Lockinge was the first UK 4yo plus Group 1 this year. The Ganay could have been targeted but there is more money elsewhere.
Presvis is turning into a real money spinner for connections and thats due to the way he has been campaigned. It’s not surprising they are sticking to that campaign.
Him and Conduit are definitely two older horses to follow. I hope they meet at the Breeders Cup.
Just flown back with Cumanis and Ryan Moore who of course are incrediably frustrated by the way things panned out but of course we knew beforehand that his late running style could be against him over this track.
He’ll be having a rest now after top class races in Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore (he still won 300,000 pounds in the latter for being 2nd). Later on Breeders’ Cup Classic, Japan Cup and Hong Kong would all be options for him.
