After that, I don\'t know how you don\'t run this horse in the Arc. To not do so would be unfair to the horse.

I don\'t think there is any pressure to come to the BC with this one this year..  There is just nobody here for him to prove himself against..Point Of Entry is not beating that..

He could try two jockeys, would make it an interesting betting prop.

Mark your calendars. It looks like the swan song will be either the Arc on Sunday, October 7th, or, the Champion Stakes at Ascot on Saturday, October 20th.

Hoping it\'s the Arc, of course. For the obvious reasons, plus, I know of a couch in Paris with my name on it, which would help my sales pitch.

Bigger shame is the horse\'s namesake never having seen the \"one\" worthy of his name.....
