hre is a compact 2yr but the same thing has been said about lots of horse who went on to improve at 3 the same thing was said about the rock and look what he went on to achieve
i think the ground will play a major part for hre he seems to want good proper ground ,the ground for the national stakes was good/soft , it seems unlikely that he is going to get good ground for the dewhurst in 2 weeks

your talking a lot of sense there, dubai millennium is the most over rated horse of recent years who beat horse’s who where no better than group 2, the best horse he raced against did not stay the 10 furlongs in the prince of wales stakes, his win in dubia looked impressive but again what did he beat<br>

not to forget arazi who imo would of carried all before him if he had not be sent to america for the kentucky derby which like johanasburg the trip finished them off
The problem now imo is that 10yr ago 3yrs were more tested they would run in the guineas derby irish derby eclispe king george etc but come september they where past there peak and the french horse cleaned up because they had, rested during the summer, now our trainers and owners have taken the same line so the top 3yrs miss out on these top summer races and wait for the arc breeders cup because they carry more glamour on a horse cv at stud
i wish they had of ran him in the dewhurst he would of won then we could of be spared the negatives vibes over the winter and spring form people who where mocking the horse and calling him crap
what every GW rating is come the end of the season it likely that he will be the the 1st since zafonic to be champion 2yr/3yr which takes some doing
why do the bookmakers have sixites icon as odd on favourite for the st leger. this horse should be 5/1 at the least nothing he has done warrants him being this short terrible value the worst for a very long time for any group 1 or classic
