Stepped straight up from ONE Mile to TWO miles - and on seasonal debut, too - Aloft
Dropped back down from the French DERBY - to a One Mile Handicap - War Envoy.
- and many other examples over the years.
- or brilliant placing?

I really do think they plan their entries in meticulous detail especially so for their group class horses...Coolmore seems to be a brilliantly run operation with huge attention given to detail.

War Envoy is the best mile handicapper he's ever trained though.......

I would hazard a guess that any horse named BALLYDOYLE would be a classic prospect in their opinion, no matter what he does today.

The problem i have with the race is that Ballydoyle is racing against colts as her main opposition...Despite the fillies allowance i'm not sure that she'll be good enough unless she's made considerable improvement.My heart says back her,my head says just watch the race.

When a pot is for the taking then take it, any decent 1m4f horse will easily stay 2miles.
War Front is a strange one, but then if you get a horse in your hands who you think is good but becomes rated 105 or less, then it would be rude not to try a handicap. |

the 80s was the golden era for darts;eric bristow,john lowe,bob anderson,john part,cliff lazerenko,keith deller,ceri morgan who had an idiosyncratc throwing style,bobby george to name just a few.
dexys midnight runners even had a hit single about jockey wilson. |

When you have so many top class horses to pick from you can afford to drop some of them in class. If you only have one miler rated over 100, there is always a temptation to run in a Group race.
