The Arc stats are misleading, take a good look at them, or better yet, watch the Youbet show BTW did, it discusses it. He has made his mark and will be a very high commodity as a sire when he retires. Nothing he does tomorrow will taint that. He has had a unbelievable career. He'll run.

If he runs i will be surprised. Aidan isn't the sort of trainer who will run his horses just for the sake of running them.
Tainted reasons? If those aren't very good reasons not to run, i don't know what are the good reasons.
If the ground is very soft, which there is every chance it could be, he will get stuffed. You clearly have no idea of how ground dependant this horse is.
The BC turf was never the plan with him, i was first surprised when they said they were actually going to run him. It was never the plan. As i said, before the Arc they said they doubted he was going, and they said if he was to win, America would be well and truly off the cards.
The Arc stats are misleading? 0-8, or is it 0-10 Arc winners? If Magnier is concerned, that is enough for me to be a little concerned to.
If he runs and gets stuffed tomorrow, it won't help his sire status. His Arc win was the best performance of his career. They would much prefer to retire him with that clear in the mind of everyone.
I will ask you again, what does he have to gain by running in this race? The answer you are looking for is nothing.
All the talk over here is that he would be a very doubtful starter if the rain does arrive on Saturday.
