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...
