So You Think
Just wondering if anyone could give me an answer, what is likely to happen with SYT if he wins tonight- will he race for the rest of the season or is he likely to be retired in time for the Australian covering season?

Re: So You Think
That is what I suspected but I just wanted to see what other people thought. I have to say I hope he does stay in training as it is great having all these top class older horses around at the moment.

Re: So You Think
No disgrace being beaten by Monterosso, I think he's better on grass.

Re: So You Think
Well he ran OK, and he ran fine here. He didn't run like a 2/1 shot but that SP was absolutely ridiculous. He's obviously a good horse because he is always there or thereabouts.

Re: So You Think
Makes me wonder if he would have been worth more at stud had they left him in Australia with this mystical superhorse tag but untried against northern hemisphere opposition. Feel that he would have cleaned up most of the WFA Group 1's over here between 1 mile and 1 and a half miles.

Feel that he would have cleaned up most of the WFA Group 1's over here between 1 mile and 1 and a half miles. Well he would have more breeding appeal over here in Europe than in Australia due to him being a middle distance horse, but people wouldn't believe he was any good until he has raced in Europe against tr best middle distance horses. If he came over here having won only Australian group 1s people would have been dubious.
