Worth taking on? I think so, never been impressed with this horse considering the prices he goes off at.

Well done Rocket,makes the plaudits that APOB threw at this horse about being the second coming earlier in the season look ridiculous.

He looks a miler in Europe to me lads and with Frankel stepping up next season, they could drop this fella back to a mile, avoid Frankel and pick up a group 1.

He doesn't half travel and we ain't half seen some bad Lockinges, I think he has a wind problem fwiw, he didn't finish today for me, he has had a wind op before as well, ran the same race with Snow Fairy. I suppose he'd have Strong Suit to beat in it as well, but Coolmore control Excelebration so that is one ya can take out, 3yo milers this year poor apart from 3 so they might sneak something I think.

The Aussies , while I like them a lot , have a knack of wearing blinkers when it comes to their own . So their cricketers , their rugby players , their wine , their horses etc are always the best in the world , even if the rest of the world does not necessarily agree with them . In such a brilliant country it is hard sometimes to be objective , you need to know a lot of them to be able to occasionally seperate the wheat from the chaff .
I suspect that the publicity and the exploits ( at home ) associated with So You Think may have beguiled some people into thinking he was the second coming . Unfortunately those of us who bought into the hype have been left with less in our pockets than before ( in tandem with the stable afficionados who have supported the horse financially in a couple of weighty gambles or near gambles ). Very good horse , Yes , top quality , Yes , but no Nijinsky , and not as good as some of the more recent stars from Ballydoyle . Snow Fairy should probably have finished in front of him for the second race in a row if she had got a troublefree run today . Not sure where he will stand apropos stud etc , if he was mine he would be back to OZ . And he might not like our weather , not everyone does . |

although they would love to get a g1 mile win with him , cant see them taking the chance he'd get beat...if they take him to breeders cup and he wins its off to stud with him for sure...
