Right, lets go through the remaining Gr1's he is likely to win. Do overseas Gr1 races count?
Henry will be very hard to beat in the Sussex if the ground is fast. Duke Of Marmalade, Irish and English Champion?

yeah overseas G1s, it'll be interesting to see if they try and go for those weakish German and Italian G1s with the 2nd strings, the likes of Mount Nelson, Macarthur etc..Plus will he target Hong Kong with more vigour this year..
I think in his fantastic year, he had all those class 2year olds, Johannesburg, Hawk Wing, Rock of Gibraltar (even Sholokov won 2 G1s!!!) I dont think he has he same strength in depth this time round, BUT he has an unbelievable older squad..

Henry would also be very difficult to beat in the BC mile. When you think of how many Gr1's there are around the world and how much strength and depth he has at the moment, you'd say he was a certainty to break the record.
