    Yes they could have withdrawn on the day if necessary. Happens every day. That is what makes it suspiciously like avoiding the race whatever the ground, which leads me more to the other 2 scenarios. If the ground is OK on Champions day, and he doesn't run, that would only leave the 3rd of those scenarios. Maybe another scenario is that it was a mistake to run at Ascot on the fast ground and he isn't fully recovered from it (remember Treve), in which case he still may not have come Champions day

    Looking at his run that day, which was run in a very fast time
    "Sweating, rousted along early, chased leaders, never travelled and pushed along or niggled along from 8f out, effort on outer bend over 2f out, driven and quickened to lead entering final 2f, headed over 1f out, kept on but held after, eased near finish"

    Whether a Cracksman fan or not (as Doalittle clearly isn't <whistle>) he was clearly out of sorts and ran several pounds below his ability. So that was some performance in the circumstances. On a going day he would have definitely won and may even have broken the track record

    For my money, he was the only horse potentially capable of beating an on song Enable in the Arc. I still think 12f with give in the ground was his best option. It is a great shame we won't see it

    Perhaps a little self-reflection might help?

    All becoming a bit sad and tedious. As Ron said, if you don't like the thread just ignore it. If you want to say something constructive, then be constructive.

    Last warning.

    3 more chances for G1 glory today, though realistically they are place claims at best

    Just to be totally transparent with everyone I have asked the Supermods to give Doalittle a 1 week ban to allow him time to cool off and maybe reflect a little. This is not because of WHAT he was saying but HOW he was saying it (as per the forum rules listed on the welcome thread).

    This was Tanya Gunther's comment today at Tattersalls. Of Without Parole's upcoming options, she said, while looking to the sky: "If he runs again this season will depend on the weather. I hope he will stay in training as a four-year-old, I think he has some more developing to do."

    It's highly possible that ERDOGAN (Frankel x Dar Re Mi) will make his return to John Gosden's Clarehaven Stable in 2019. Just read this from Jess Samy.
