    Hungarians, Greeks or whatever – the fact is that its been a while since any country in Europe had a truly great international sprinter.
    They might look like champions when they are racing against their local second-raters, but can they stand up to the pressure in an international group 1 such as the Golden Jubilee if the non-European champions turn up?

    I have yet to be convinced. Those guys rushing to take short odds about Overdose etc should wait, there will be some changes to the market before the big race – old Takeover Target is there and Sacred Kingdom flew out of Hong Kong today. Unfortunately, there is no direct flight to Britain, so he will land in France and – would you believe it – will have to take a boat to Blimey.

    But from what we have seen of your sprinters in Asia in the last four or fiveyears, he will still be too good if he is even 90% fit.
