I think I may have stumbled upon this oppinion rather than it being a long held one wildman, but the cap does seem to fit, it would be interesting to know the other deadlines for all age races in Europe before I completely put the boot in though, some of my favourite horses have been strong travelling cheapies

TradeFair 03 Sep 11 21:33 It's a massive pot and the best horses will always get an entry. The problem this year was that Frankel was staying at a mile and was never really considered the race. That will not always be the case. We have had super clashes in it down through the years and it remains Europe's premier 10f race. Tell me a horse that will be rated higher than So You Think at the end of the season that could have ran today? Anyone at Leopardstown today saw a proper Group 1 horse beat another proper Group 1 horse. Job done. TradeFair 29 Aug 11 19:44 Good post Soaap, like it. My views are in bold. I think there may be a supplementary stage tomorrow so hopefully a further challenge will arise. There is nothing else out there. Too many alternatives to this race and only second prize is up for grabs. Snow Fairy for some reason doesn't seem to have found form this season. Add in the fact that she is running over a trip too short. I agree. She will be a lay W/O. Nothing like a dead one in the w/o market Famous Name is running over a furlong too far and needs a soft Group 1 to win one. He will never win a Group 1 but can place here. I'd make him fav w/o Everything nicely covered there Tradefair!  |

That was the worst ever renewal of that race I refer you to my post on the So You Think thread. 2008 was far worse. |

The fact is that if Snow Fairy was not denied a run in France in the race that Timepiece was 2nd in, she would not even have turned up yesterday. As weak a group 1 as it was yesterday, they were very lucky to be saved from the race being a complete farce.
How much would Red Mills have paid to sponsor the race? It would be a very small percentage of the total purse? |

Regards the OP,you pays your money and you takes your chance,they have their fair share of Yaks down in Coolmore as well as the so called "Superstars".
I have to say personally I was dissapointed to see the fav scramble home last night. |

Everything nicely covered there Tradefair! Snow Fairy was a filly out of form this season and looked worth taking on but she proved me wrong yesterday. You can hardly argue that she is not a Group 1 filly regardless of her run yesterday. |

From what I can make out SF has won 4 G1s and been 2nd in two others -winning about 2 1/2 million pounds .
By any reckoning she's a genuine G1 performer. |

What would we have done if Aidan didn't run his three horses in the race? Would have been an even worse race. The really good horses aren't there anymore and we're strapped for top 1m2f horses at the moment. Name a top horse which would have run if Aidan didn't run So You Think. I bet you can't......
