I just wonder if he has the physicality to cope with his own speed and the rigours of racing in the long term, maybe he'll be ok.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30702213/2017-2000-guineas?post_id=551962051#551962051LR, I agree that the ability is far more important than looks.
