Available at 9/2 and better for the Arc and King George if you shop around... so end story is... get your wallets out and back your judgement... hopefully not to the poor house...
I shan't be backing it again - I think it's had its chance and it took five trebles and a five-fold of mine with it when it went down, incidentally... It'll win more soft Gp1s on softish ground, I bet, but is no wonder horse and on good ground in England or France will be found out more times than not.. | ||||||||||||||||||||

zilzal1, Stan2, Dark Destroyer . Read and Weep "SO YOU THINK, THE WORLD CHAMPION" maybe you will understand australians and new zealanders have no hurry need to send their good horses to europe, besides the better $$$ per race, racing is 2nd to none. proves the Cox Plate which Obrien stated after So you Think BEAT workforce is hopefully on the agenda. its australiasia's verson of the arc but at 1m 2f, best of the best going for weight for age championship. Just a reminder, black caviar IS the greatest sprinter to ever race in Australia where as so you think is a one in a decade type champion. maybe frankel could come down under for a ass whipping over 6-7 furlongs. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Yeah hes a champion
I never said he was useless anyway .I had him rated about 127, behind only Workforce at Middle Distance, now i'd have both of them about 129/130. Workforce was hardly blown away so i'd give him a 50-50 chance to reverse the result, but i wouoldn't make any middle distance horse in Europe fav vs So You Think. Having said that though the hype was that he was as good as anything we've seen, the reality so far is he is the best of an - at best - average group of middle distance horses , so not - IMO - 'a once in a decade' type. The very best around are racing at 1 Mile. And any of the 3 that stepped up to 10f i would expect to beat SYT handily. My idea of The Top 10

Shove THAT up your arse, Bart - I'm so effing great - Cummings... and all the oiks on here who thought it was clever to blame AOB for Ascot etc So he's won some HANDICAP down under a dozen times...has he ever won a group one OUTSIDE his own little parochial racing scene? If he has I bet he's not won many!! Not a fan of Coolemore these days... and fear AOB's comments afterwards demonstrate he has to dance to their tune - just shuffle the group one performer cards and see how they drop... CB in the Irish Derby... then CB in the QUEEN ANN???? Luckily for the horse the new part-owners have some say now and will ensure it gets to travel and make some real doughANYWAY... well done AOB... and well done Spencer | ||||||||||||||||||||

Sooty five - ONE race does not make him a world champion, you arse! He's a very fine 10f horse and that is our weakest division... but he's proven nothing yet...
It was brave and sportsmanlike of PKA and SMS to run Wf over a distance that was short of his best on ground that was too fast for him... WHEN Coolemore have the guts to risk their horse's (SYT) reputation by running him over 12f on g-s we shall SEE... if he goes to the KG or Arc he'd be stufffed bigtime | ||||||||||||||||||||

SYT may go up a pound perhaps for the Eclipse (I doubt it as Workforce did not give his best) and he may be the best 10f horse around - we'll know when he meets some 10f grp 1 specialists and he goes to the USA or HK... but he's still not going to be top rated anywhere...
It's noticable looking at these ratings that the Aussies have JUST FOUR in the top 38 in the world - that's horses rated 120 and above... five if we give you SYT... and ALL ARE OLDER HORSES You may say yours mature late. I would counter all our best ones TEND to go to stud at 3... (Something I regret) so it's impossible and frankly childish and stupid to try and claim world championship at all, let alone based on one race against a non-10f specialist who ran 6-8 lbs below his best | ||||||||||||||||||||
