Note, Eric will never offer a view on a race that is forthcoming, Ante Post gives him that opportunity to get out, either by blaming the trainer, etc, etc
Maybe he could give us a selection for the Hennesssey, although i suspect hie ego will not allow it |

Zil, having been comprehensively outpointed by CV regarding KS, he is now looking for a fight with Dessies fans, he has a desperate need for the attention that he isn't getting away from his PC. Perhaps if we didn't feed his addiction.....
To answer your point, Dessie doesn't fall down on any of Kirks carefully constructed criteria, his biggest weakness was going left handed, yet he still managed to win a Gold Cup and at Aintree, so I reckon a 3to4/5 for that. The rest are 4+, mainly 5s. |

I think the Dessie winning a gold cup despite his aversion to going left handed is a true testament to a great horse. People could have simply excused him from winning the gold cup, if a horse can't reproduce his best then he can't, what more can you ask? Guts and courage, Dessie won it with guts and courage. With that win he cemented his greatness.
That's what these great horses do, the have that something to overcome. It's like Kauto read what was written about him in 2008 before he proved a point in 2009. It's that something special they have which we will remember most. Each had a unique bit of magic. They are special, no doubt, don't ever doubt that. |

And that should be the end of it.

Well said CVB, no excuses made when beaten over trip track or distance; an exceptional racehorse.

So now Tidal Bay is better than Kauto and Burrough Hill Lad then?
|

By:
....or is it just that Kauto is not as effective over a staying course 3m+ as a sharp 3 miles.

..and so theratings are being hyped up on IC because of his proximity at trips above 3 miles to Kauto when Kauto is nowhere near as good as his rating over the perfect 3 m King George course/trip.
