HP,
Just want to make sure this is accurate.
I agree there were 18 turf races in that 3 year period you looked at but I disagree with your totals (3 were the Turf Sprint obviously).
Euro's won 8 of the 15 Turf Routes, 6 of them at one mile and 2 of them at beyond a mile. So, 6 of the 9 mile races were won by Euro's and 1 of 3 races won at 1 1/2 miles, TURF, and 1 of 3 races won at 1 1/4 miles, F/M Turf.
As for the Euro's in those 1 1/2 miles races and 1 1/4 mile races that didn't win:
TURF: 2012, St. Nicholas Abbey earned the best TG Fig in the race for O'Brien finishing in 3rd.
2013, Magician won as noted and The Fugue ran 2nd.
2014. Flintshire finished 2nd for Andre F.
F/M Turf: 2012, the 3rd and 4th place finishers were Euro's.
2013, Dank won as noted and Romantica finished 2nd.
2014, Just the Judge finished 3rd for Hills.
I disagree that Euro's haven't been dominant whether at a mile or 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 miles. I'd like to total up how many Euro's have run total in the turf routes out there and how they have performed as a whole TG wise and record wise but time is not on my side to accomplish it.
EDIT: I guess since Dank ran at Arlington you aren't counting her as a Euro?
