    The worrying aspect for me when it comes to SYT,dirt surface aside is that AOB's horse just dont seem to come out of the gate quick enough.And if you add his appalling record at previous BC'c that has to be a major worry too.

    I'd also love to see So You Think win, and I'm pretty convinced the style of running will suit him, as he's a grinder, the sort of muscular bull of a horse needed to win a Classic on the dirt.

    Buuuuut..... You can't possibly back a European horse who's only ever run on turf, to beat the Yanks on dirt. If Giant's Causeway couldn't do it, this one won't. Uncle Mo for me, can't understand why he's 6/1.

    Have to agree Archers - the bookies will be upping SYTs chances to get the Brits punting on him but I've lost far too much on him this season. Uncle Mo for me too <ok>

    It was said that SYT was drinking in the last chance saloon when he ran in the Arc. I don't know what 'chance saloon' the horse is in now but I'd be most surprised should champagne be on the menu tonight though. And that's despite the American horses reputably being very poor this year.
