1:35 EST Irish Champion Gr.1, where Snow Fairy will try to cut into the 7 length defeat to So You Think in their first meeting this year.

She did cut into the margin but So You Think was still able to hold her off by half a length to win again.

looks like a run in the Arc and no BC turf plans for this one. Since it looks like they have Cape Blanco headed to the BC Turf

So You Think is a splendid animal, the question is can he run beyond 2000 meters. SF ran her race, just couldn't get by him, same margin coincidentally as Workforce's lost in the Coral Eclipse. It will be interesting to see the timeform rating of this race, 125, 130+

DId you see the Melbourne Cup over 3200m? Rider moved too soon, made the lead too early in the stretch, still in the mix late to finish third, on soft ground, no less. He can definitely run past 2000m. O'Brien has been too conservative with him, methinks, by running him only at 10f.

Yeah, the Melbourne cup is one of my favorite races everyone year, not sure his optimum distance is at the 2400 however, was interested at Aiden's comments after yesterday's race, mentioned his sire, a horse I absolutely loved that thrived at 2400. No doubt about it So You Think is a rare quality specimen.
